A true surprise if so, but still low in informational density and annoying to read.

Yeah, I got an AI vibe off it too, and was surprised to find this. The problem is, to quote Orson Welles, "it's not as conversationally written. It's full if things that are only correct because they're grammatical, but it's tough on the ear, you see." AI writing bears a resemblance to the most insufferable marketing speak, so if you ape that kind of writing in an attempt to sound punchy or whatever, you're going to be accused of being a bot.
