a reliable giveaway for AI generated videos is just a quick glance at the account's post history—the videos will look frequent, repetitive, and lack a consistent subject/background—and that's not something that'll go away when AI videos get better

Why not? Surely you can ask your friendly neighbourhood AI to run a consistent channel for you?
AI is capable of consistent characters now, yes, but the platforms themselves provide little incentive to. TikTok/Instagram Reels are designed to serve recommendations, not a user-curated feed of people you follow, so consistency is not needed for virality
How can they look repetitive while being inconsistent? Do you mean in terms of presentation / "editing" style?
Or they are reposting other people's content
I actually avoid most YouTube channels that upload too frequently. Especially with consistent schedules.
Even if I'm 100% certain it's not AI slop, it's still a very strong indicator that the videos are some kind of slop.
A giveaway for detecting AI-generated text is the use of em-dashes, as noted in op - you are caught bang to rights!
Some keyboards and operating systems — iOS is one of them — convert two dashes into an emdash.
I can’t wait for my keyboard to start auto-completing “Your” with “are absolutely right!”

Not long ago, a statistical study found that AI almost always has an 'e' in its output. It is a firm indicator of AI slop. If you catch a post with an 'e', pay it no mind: it's probably AI.
Uh-oh. Caught you. Bang to rights! That post is firmly AI. Bad. Nobody should mind your robot posts.
I apprEciatE your dEdication to ExclusivEly using 'e' in quotEd rEfErEncE, but not in thE rEst of your clEarly human-authorEd tExt.
I rEgrEt that I havE not donE thE samE, but plEase accEpt bad formatting as a countErpoint.
I'm incredibly impressed that you managed to make that whole message without a single usage of the most frequently used letter, except in your quotations.
