I think at this point comments like this are equivalent to saying "I didn't like this article, because it's written in too good English".

I would edit sentences like this:

"Erlang is the strongest form of the isolation argument, and it deserves to be taken seriously, which is why what happens next matters."

It doesn't add much, and it has this condescending and pretentious LLM tone. For me as a reader, it distracts from an otherwise interesting article.

Sorry, good English is good grammatically and structurally while being unique and feeling creative. and AI-written English is not good. It’s correct but totally repetitive, formulaic and circular. It’s like expecting a pizza and finding it’s made of cardboard.

I liked the content of the article enough to read it to the end, but I did have a hard time due to inflation with LLM-isms. Then again I am not a native so how would I know if this is good English? I can only tell that to me, it is hard to read despite interesting content.

It shows a lack of care for the reader. Use your own words.
