I feel more like AI have adopted some preexisting disagreeable writing styles from the beginning and now we associate these with AI.

The way I like to phrase this sentiment is "This guy is the training data."

Yeah, this is why I have transitioned from "this seems like it was written with AI" to "this is full of clichés." Maybe it was only written by a human or maybe it was written entirely with AI or somewhere in between, but in any case, clichés make it tiresome to read.
