Funny, this reads even more AI written than the article itself.

It really doesn't.

One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of non-native English speakers use LLMs to translate to English, or to polish their English prose; they may not realize that it causes the translation to come out in a very LLM-style tone. Not sure if that's the case here, but it looks like OP is a native Chinese speaker so may be using tools to translate to English.

It does, but what does that say about the state of communication in our industry? I've seen a lot of writing that reads like an AI produced it in contexts where I could be pretty sure no AI was involved. We want to sound professional, so we sanitize how we write so much that it becomes... whatever this current situation is.

No offense intended to @yz-yu, by the way. I miss the times when more people wrote in an eccentric style -- like Steve Yegge -- but that doesn't detract from what you wrote.

The em dashes really aren't helping their case.
