The missing comma is what makes it mistakable

I'm, baby. Still doesn't seem right even if it technically is.

I would say it's technically wrong, because the am is where the emphasis sits, and you wouldn't contract an emphasised word.

But yeah, that still seems like the best interpretation of intention in this case.

Yep, it's called a clitic, and you can't put emphasis on it the same way you would if you used the full word
