You share no credentials anywhere so it's hard to verify you know what you're talking about. Normally that wouldn't be necessary, but the AI authorship here is obvious. Every single paragraph has an example of the infamous "it's not _, it's _".

I'm not saying you don't know what you're talking about, just that it's impossible to tell if you do.

I dislike writing perfectly and english is not my first language. I find using AI an efficient way to carry my thoughts to a wider audience. I may rewrite it at some point using my own words.

There's nothing wrong with that, and I think I'd have gotten a very different first impression if you had shared a little about yourself.

To be fair, I don't think everyone spots LLM text like this, it just jumps out at me.
