I've been steeped in AI for about 6-7 years. It's hard to tell in a brief comment like yours but it doesn't read as AI to me. Not sure where people get that vibe but it doesn't show here.
Given multiple paragraphs a lot of tells can accumulate if there isn't a human carefully curating and editing. This one is borderline. I'm not sure by any means, but it hits my skepticism zone.
I think it was just odd word choices and sentence structure that made it sounds different and that just made some think it was written by AI. Similarly I've been accused of being pretentious or in one case "speaking like an anime villain" when I was just using the words I was taught in school. I didn't know they weren't in common use anymore hah
Forsooth! I love writing that way and reading similar. It makes social media read almost literary. I'm vexed that people would prefer to read comments that stray nary an inch beyond third grade vernacular.
However it can read a little pretentious, which is why I like to drop in a few fuck-your-mothers or whatnot in to provide a little grounding.
Own that shit and stand out, my brother! (In a non-gender-assuming sense of the word.)
