I didn't get that at all. Calling out AI for the sake of it is the new virtue signal, unfortunately.

I don't know whether it's a sign of it being AI or not but I did find it a bit weird that within the first 3 sentences there were 2 different "less like X and more like Y" statements:
> the reason is that this is less like painting a wooden fence, which is easy, and more like changing the colour of a carbon-fibre Formula 1 part, which requires re-calculating the weight, strength and aerodynamics.
and
> this is less like making ice cubes and more like baking a complex soufflé where every degree of temperature and milligram of ingredients matters.
Not a problem, but it felt odd enough that I noticed it, so maybe that's what got them thinking it was AI written/assisted?
I consider it very well written, perhaps too well written, I think we are departing the AI slop era. I’m not decrying it as slop not worth reading, I just think it’s an interesting development.
