It's not just the em dashes, but the phasing as well. Happy to be proven wrong though.

No way a language model would come up with the victim mrs joke. And in general the writing of the whole piece is profoundly human, it's just clear that a lot of care went into it.

Like me — I love these things!! 😍 (I never use them properly though—iirc there is supposed to be no space between them and the letters like that, and also they should appear in pairs, but I dare to be different!)

There are no strict universal rules about the spacing, just be consistent for pete's sake!
