Another giveaway of GPT content for me are overusing importance adjectives like "crucial" or "essential", and of course an extreme overuse of enumerations.

An extreme overuse of everything. Like "give me a formula to color every second Excel row blue". "Sure! First make sure you have installed Excel, here are the steps..."
I often find that it's easy for me to explain things in enumeration. I'm wondering if a) there is a latent middle manager living inside me, always shuffling his little powerpoint decks, or b) there is a little LM living inside me, making me compulsively enumerate things.
