The writing is made worse by a specific choice which the commentator identified. That’s actionable feedback.

I don't know what the author's native language is, but I assume it's something I'd need machine translation for anyway. Having it in good (if not Nobel prize level great) English is much easier - and will probably be easier to find again via search.

how is it made worse in this case?

    Because it's a strong signal of AI slop. Why put in more work than the "author" did?

    If the author generated text that required no effort, and has no understanding of the contents of the material generated, and no self-awareness of their behavior and how the audience will receive it, it definitely doesn't warrant wasting a single second reading it.

    Now, granted, maybe they did review it, maybe they did understand it, maybe they did know how it would be received and merely made a mistake, but how are we to know? It quacks like a duck.
