don’t be too quick to judge, putting the text through pangram indicates it’s 100% human written. It didn’t strike me as too AI because it wasn’t superfluous; it literally was what happened. AI is using this phrase more as a stylistic device than an a factual statement

The last one really speaks to me. I wanted to go on but it raised all sorts of questions in me that I think I should investigate instead.
It was, in that sense, a change that changed the thing that was being called something without changing the thing that was being called.
and
Everything that was not the name remained the same.
Everything that was the name was no longer the same.
Really makes you think.
