I don't think this article was written by AI - at least, I am not sure it is - but the way it is divided up, the bullet lists and "key quotes" and breaking a relatively short article into even shorter sections, makes it feel AI generated.

Sounds like an interesting book but the article says remarkably little.

That style had become popular in news stories even before AI. I call it “writing for 8th graders”

More like 6th graders. Most modern news targets a 6-7 grade level, social media 4-6th.

Government publications target 6-8th grade.

Look for New York Times articles published in the 1960s or 70s and compare them to today… it’s pretty jarring. They targeted a 12th grade reading levels at that time.
