It's moreso the "AI-isms" that irk me. It's interesting, but I'm not finishing the video because once I notice it -- I can't help but focus on it. Instead, I tl;dr'd the transcript.

People question my use of AI when I double `-` with an iPhone on the internet constantly.[0] I get it, it's annoying.

However, if our barrier for quality is "at it's core, the content of this is interesting", then the quality of this place will fall off a cliff. This is factoid-level interesting. It's not a hacker writing something profound or presenting a breakthrough in garbled grade 8 English. It's a fun fact being presented in an acceptably, inoffensive, reasonably produced format.. Is that the bar?

Dave (the guy in that video) is an older timer Microsoft engineer. I don't know if he used AI to help compose his script but you can guarantee the subject matter is from his own experience.

I suspect the AI-isms you identified were really just more his own personal presentation style. I've watched a few of his videos over the years and from what I recall, they were similarly written.
