Maybe that's why the writing feels so terrible. The AI is attempting to maximize every sentence while simultaneously expanding on just a few actually meaningful points. And the net result of that dissonance is this rage-inducing vapidity. It's the written equivalent of the Uncanny Valley.

I think it has got past the uncanny valley really - it does read like a human, just a very attention-seeking one, like your typical LinkedIn salesman.

That's probably just default settings though - I asked it to rewrite, and most of the tell-tale signs are gone as I can see (apart from the em-dash)

Making fluff sound grandiose is probably what makes so grating.
