Because the article is AI slop, plain and simple.

This one definitely does not feel like AI to me. I could be wrong. But it has too much warmth.

I would write that prose. It’s very powerful to use small sentences with small words to drive a point home. Like when you are in some drawn out argument about th future with your spouse and your child comes in the room. She says quietly, “please stop fighting I’m hungry”. How do you argue with that? You can’t, it’s just true.

Am I AI slop?

How many times would you use that structure in a single article?

This is the internet, you could be a dog for all anybody cares. If you write like AI though...
