It's rather full of "it's not X, it's Y" and expository paragraph followed by short sentence counter-point, and "read that again".

But no, I don't think it's AI, I think it's just written in a style that happens to be an attractor for LLMs.

I also got strong AI vibes, but I enjoyed the content. I thought it was a interesting summary of topics I've read many times before and even if the content was AI-assisted, does it matter? It seems there was a strong guiding hand in presenting a popular topic in a new way.

It matters because I don't like the style. I wouldn't like it if a human wrote it. I don't like the style so much that I won't read things written with it.

So maybe she had something interesting to say, but it was not communicated to me because I bounced.

And then you came to tell the rest of us that "you did not read it?" Why do that?

I would believe she wrote it in this style if you can point to any of her writing pre 2022 that is similar in style.

Does that exist? Genuinely curious.

“Carlyn Beccia is an award-winning author and illustrator of 13 books.”

All of her books seem to be children's books and many of the 13 are illustrator credits.

I found this blog from late 2021: https://medium.com/grimhistorian/coffee-the-sexiest-drink-in...

I can only see the beginning of it, but to me the style is obviously different from the thread's linked article.
