Gotta say, that article reads an awful lot like LLM output, which is especially ironic given the topic.
Holy shit you were not kidding.
This is how extinction begins: not with a natural disaster, but with a six-page government memo.
Looks like a literary allusion to T.S. Eliot to me. Something a highly literate (human) writer might find as a poetic turn of phrase. I could see how people who aren't as widely read might think it looks like AI instead of a reference to classic literature.
Until he started getting better at doing it on his own, I had to personally point out to an elderly relative that a lot of the expert or celebrity "news" commentaries that were being suggested to him by Youtube were deep fakes. In many (if not all) cases, that precise sentence structure was used like a Mad Lib where only the nouns get swapped out.
I just don't think a human who understand the subject matter and their audience would write that sentence. It's just so trying to be more than it is that even if a human did write it somehow that's worse.
Bad look for the person who submitted it. Considering she's the staff lawyer and director of nature programs, you would kind of expect her to be more than capable of expressing her sentiments in her own words. It's not like she's in a roll where you might expect her to need some help to write coherently. Comes across as lack of concern for her own professional image and her message.
Did you see the banner up top? Gives me "We use AI for good" vibes.
