I’m guessing development is so slow that they have stacks of teams working in parallel to accomplish what 1 team could normally.
There's a more obvious explanation.
AI is turning in to an addiction and crutch for some people.
It feels like intellectual dishonesty when it's not declared at the top of the article. I have no issues with AI, when the authors are honest about their usage. But if you stamp your name to an article without clear mention that LLMs wrote at least a significant piece of it, it feels dishonest and I disconnect from it.
Or honesty about the author. If it's written by ChatGPT, say that. If I start to read an article with the expectation of it being written by a human, then see something like this, I instantly check out.

It's not the same as a chinese investment firm buying up various asset classes, non-native investors buying up real estate that could provide shelter to native citizens is a problem.

I'd rather run IE on Windows 8 in a VM than go through a 4-5 min initial load.
