Has anyone else been changing their work so client's don't think you're using AI? To be clear, I don't use AI for my work at all but I'm worried clients will just assume I am. So, I've been avoiding using things like the m dash in my writing so people realize it's me doing the work.

If you use your em dashes correctly you’ll be distinct from AI; so often they don’t.

yes. I use LLMs for clarity, not any visual outputs. to be upfront about this distinction isn’t worth the space on my book but a conversation worth having with a lead/client. aside, you can download new fonts like Areal that replace the Em dash with a new glyph entirely, if you need to really make the statement.

I do this too! I also ignore most of Grammarly's suggestions when writing. That app isn't what it used to be!

I replace m dashes as well but otherwise there’s nothing to feel guilty about - unless your just copying and pasting without reviewing GPT’s output.

Anything you put in a client’s deck is saying “I vouch for the quality of this work” not “I made this work by hand with a typewriter.” No CD would look down on an art director for using photoshop to make a comp look better…
