The average person, yes. A professional, competent writer, editor, journalist? Not even close (currently).
The intentional typo "is't" needs work. Either drop the apostrophe like the yoots or stick to believable transpositions.
"But then I have to remind myself that I don’t sound like AI, it sounds like me. I’ve been em-dashing and comma-splicing up a motherfucking storm these past two decades. It was fun then, and it’s fun now."

Microsoft Word has auto-inserted em-dashes when you use hyphens in such a sentence since forever. Em-dashes are never a proof of AI-generated text.

Reading comprehension is suffering these days.
