Funny, I don't associate that with AI. I associate it with having to write papers of a specific length in high school. (Though at least those were usually numbers of pages, so you could get a little juice from tweaking margins, line spacing and font size.)

I think those kind of texts (school papers, marketing fluff, linkedin influencers trying to look smart) just influenced the dataset a lot.

Too bad we didn't have more laconic, interesting books to feed in?

I had word/page quotas, but I also don't write my blog in a way that resembles the papers I wrote for school 10 years ago.
