I'm not sure I'd go so far as to claim it was definitely written by AI (after all, LLMs tend to write the way they do because it reflects their training material), but it does have a large number of suspicious constructions that suggest it could have been:

- "Look, I’m going to say something that might sound crazy...."

- But here’s the thing: there’s nothing stopping us...

- Emdashes. I don't believe that alone they are a tell for AI any more than they are a tell for the cultured, but in combination with other things, maybe.

- The question/answer style.

- The "It's not X, It's Y" construction.

This is all in the first sections.
