I ran this through ChatGPT and it found a few grammatical errors - that I agree with - and awkward wording. Usually AI generated text doesn’t have these types of errors.

It reads like a standard corporate blog post. You can find plenty of those on AWS blogs that were written before LLMs were publicly available.

I ran the text through several AI detectors and they all returned 0% AI 100% human.

Your AI detector seems to be in need of recalibration.

I think you feel that way because it's written more in a whitepaper tone instead of a blog article tone. If you're not deeply mired in distributed relational database systems, you likely won't get anything out of it.

It's not written like a "fable" as most technical blog articles that do well on HN tend to be. There is no great philosophical life-insight that the authors stumbled upon while doing this mundane technical thing.
