Very much this. Back in the day, the Cluetrain Manifesto said that corporate writing sounded "literally inhuman" - like it didn't come from a human being. You can't hear the person in it.

ChatGPT reads similarly. There's no personal voice. It's like food with no seasoning; it's just... blah.

I write fiction for fun (just for me, don't ask) and asked it to generate a plot for an elevator pitch version of my big idea at the time. The plot was literally my plot. This confirmed my suspicions that I am a mediocre, at best, storyteller but it also made me wonder how much of what each person thinks makes them individually smart or talented is just mundane crap no better than this system can produce. Chilling to some, maybe, but confirmed my idea that what I'm doing is just for me to enjoy and that's ok.
