Yes, lots of AI style/writing in this article. I wouldn't necessarily discredit an article just based on stylization if the content was worth engaging with ... but like you mentioned, when the AI is given too much creative control it goes off the rails by the middle and turns into what the kids call "AI slop".

It resembles an article, it has the right ingredients (words), but they aren't combined and cooked into any kind of recognizable food.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to confirm. Not hating on AI slop or something. But I do genuinely feel if he/she/they tried to invest time in writing it, people would consume and enjoy it better.

Its hard to put my finger on it. But it lacks soul, it factor or whatever you want to call it. Feels empty in a way.

I mean, this is not the first AI assisted article am reading. But usually, it's to a negligible level. Maybe it's just me. :)

I suppose that eventually enough people will have grown up reading mostly ai slop that that way of speaking will eventually become the norm.
