You're too kind. It's obviously AI copy, and a huge negative signal (to me, anyway).

I'm always hesitant to assert something is definitely AI copy because everyone's tone of voice is different.

I'm also starting to wonder how much real, human-made copy is mimicking AI-created copy that has been filling marketing pages as of late. When people make marketing websites, they often riff and rip off other websites' (à la "Good artists copy; great artists steal"[0]) design ideas and language -- I wouldn't be surprised if there are humans now inadvertently adopting LLM's writing style like that.

  • Why do you think an AI-focused company would hesitate to put AI-generated copy on their website?

    • Hah :)

      In my opinion / experience, AI copy is a generally more cumbersome to read and process. So I would assume a company at Series B stage would have a human (with marketing guidelines) go over the language used on a one-pager to announce a new product.

      But -- evidently -- anyone's guess!
