Because using good typography and editing is not a unique fingerprint of AI generated content.

AI's habit of writing every story as a bullet-point list really isn't a good writing style.
It was until AI started doing it everywhere. When I took technical writing course in college, many years ago, breaking up paragraphs with bullet-point lists was one of the core techniques taught for writing clear, effective documentation.
I don’t think there’s any single way to be sure, but it sure reads like ChatGPT to me. Which I’m not sure is such a bad thing—I presume the author used an AI to help them write the story, but the story is real. Or maybe they edited it themselves to make it sound more generic. Whatever the reason, the style takes away from my reading experience. It’s a blog post, I expect some personality!
