1. It's bad prose. If you think it reads fine, you don't read good prose.

2. It's immediately recognized as AI Slop which makes people question its veracity, or intent

3. If the author can't take the time and effort to create a well-crafhed article, it's insulting to ask us to take the time and effort to read it.

4. Allowing this style of writing to become accepted and commonplace leads to a death of variety of styles over time and is not good for anyone. For multiple reasons.

5. A lot of people are cranking out shit just for money, so maybe they wrote this just for money and maybe it's not even true (related to point 3)

I genuinely think you're wrong and you're only seeing things this way because you have formed a dislike about AI. The prose was absolutely fine - and this sort of comment

> If you think it reads fine, you don't read good prose.

Is reductive and not in good spirit.

Good day.

I wonder if the difference of opinion is due to native English speakers versus those who learned as a second language?

I found the AI version to be really clear and it helped me understand everything that was going on.

I found the Google doc version harder to read and slightly difficult to understand.
