Single sentence paragraphs for rhetorical emphasis. I count six of those. Abrupt or elliptical sentences, often with a melodramatic tone. Example: "AI changes that." "It obviously can. So can a prison." Inconsistencies one wouldn't expect a human to make: "fraud detection" is ok in paragraph 5; worrisome in paragraph 9. I'm not vehemently against using AI as a drafting tool, but if I were to do that, I would be inclined to signal that somehow to avoid the appearance of dissimulation; just as I would if I were paraphrasing another author. If the points are good, then good. If you didn't notice the AI tells, does it really matter? It's still intelligible discourse.

For me, the tone of this article is off-putting. "Doesn't that make more sense than ..." "Did something feel…off ..."? " A little ironic, given ..." This signals that what I'm reading is not journalism, and therefore nothing in the article is reliable or credible.

All that aside: What would really be helpful: some recommendations as to bloggers or other sources in this field whom people here find reliable and credible.
