Rereading it, there is a good chance I'm the asshole here, but the basic reasons were a paragraph, followed by bullet points, followed by a paragraph. That's a very common format for ChatGTP. As well, the use of emdashes in general, specifically where most people would use a comma. What really leads me to think I might be the asshole here is his use of "But" to start a sentence. It's pretty common in informal righting, but really uncommon in the type of formal writing that ChatGPT loves to produce.

Looks like typed as hyphens, and LLMs tend to produce emdashes.

I think the intro/bullet point/conclusion format is pretty common among humans.
