Not on this article, but everywhere nowadays are hints of AI. For example using emoticons on the beginning of each sentence or never really going deep into the topic. The complete lack of grammatical errors is another tip, unless the prompter asks to write minor errors and pretend to be a human.

Wouldn't be suprised that before the end of this year we see more website declaring themselves to be "human-only zones", considering we won't be able to match the speed and quantity and replies from bots. Making it difficult to hold proper conversations.

This is one theory about the controversial age identification currently being implemented happily by social media companies: it's actually about human identification. That's the new captcha.

I don't care if the text is ai-written as long as it delivers the message that it is supposed to deliver correctly. If none of the engineers on the team feels like writing long announcement posts - why couldn't they use ai, check/correct its output and go back enjoy hacking smartwatches?

I think people are getting too fixated on how exactly each symbol was created instead of what the message is.

There is misunderstanding. There is nothing against using it for those cases, the problem is when it gets used for producing long and unverified slop or debatting against humans.
