That’s very suspicious since that is exactly what I would expect a bot to write.
Point of order: in order for a bot to write that text, it would need to have been already written by someone else. So if a bot didn’t write it before, it might the next time.
That’s not entirely accurate. AI can put together novel sentences that have never been written before. Everything is written one token at a time so being written before makes it more likely (as you would expect) but it absolutely does not preclude novel combinations.
