I agree with the grandparent comment and wanted to say something similar. I’m allergic to AI written drivel and at the first “it wasn’t just” I had to close the article.
Whether or not the author used AI to write it, it’s a valid criticism that it sounds like it, it makes people not want to read it and the author should consider a less offputting style if they want more engagement.
Edit to add, it’s worth flagging AI articles if you don’t want to see them, just commenting on it ends up making for a poor discussion - this thread is littered with talk about how it’s AI written. Better just to vote for it to flagged/dead.
