The key insight is to avoid – em dashes. You’re absolutely right. It’s not the content, it’s the style.
Ironically one of the big tells for me is the "It's not this. It's that." Your comment uses a comma though so you're probably a real person :)

Busted!!!!
Staccato (too may short sentences with periods) is also a telltale for me. Most humans prefer longer sentences with more varied punctuation; I, for example, am a sucker for run-on sentences.
