I assumed it was AI too

"All of this happened over text—not an organized workflow system, but good enough to handle a weekend’s worth of work, one weekend at a time. For a moment, the business worked. In reality, this was the easy part."

And

"The logo was the Boston Celtics logo. The problem? It’s not a minimal, modern logo; it’s a detailed, hand-drawn image from 1946."

have a pretty AI like cadence.

edit: No shade to OP....I'm glad it's not AI, but I'm sad my default is assuming AI now :/

People have been writing comparative statements with punctuation for as long as we've had things to compare and written language to punctuate.

Your bot detector is broken.

Please don't change your writing style just because random humbugs on the Internet associate it with an LLM.

What is writing if not a way to be perceived by others. Ideally not perceived as an LLM!

I saw it too and OP has likely picked up these idioms from the sheer amount of AI-assisted or generated writing out there.

I think that's a convenient post hoc justification. I could as easily say the LLM wrote it that way because that's how people actually write.

It may be a compliment on cogent points combined with impeccable grammar and spelling

This is the home of the writing luminaries that can’t imagine outputting em-dashes by hand.

where is the em-dash key on your keyboard? Yes, I know you can use a shortcut. 99.9% of people don't.

Many editing tools support double or triple hyphen that convert automatically to em dashes. On Android it's trivial to write an em dash (easier than say the percent symbol).

I even have a plug-in that converts some hyphens to em dashes on my blog.

Rendering judgment on someone who published something on their own site without knowing their stack reflects more on you than him.
