Disagree, I assumed it was a 10 year old story because it was written in the personable style of the old internet…

It sounds very slightly AI in some places, but I think this is an example of AI tropes turning up in human writing.

Which is a shame, because it makes those constructs less pleasant to read than they used to be. If you squint, and pretend AI doesn't exist (imagine!), then maybe you might be able to enjoy them again.

It is a little bit too long though.

That's quite a complement to AI

Really? Didn't use an llm other than to do a quick grammar check because english is not my first language.

I disagree, this read very non-AI prose to me. No "its not x - it's y", or em dashes etc.
