Someone linked to an obviously ChatGPT-generated article and I realized the thing which makes it so obvious is how much it resembles an uninspired attempt at the 5-paragraph essay form, including the horrid formulaic phrases (“There are several reasons why…” / etc.).

As someone who did forensics (the public-speaking kind, not the crime-scene investigation kind) in school and had to listen to way too many people stumbling through the oratorical equivalent of this, it’s A) always going to stand out and B) always going to make me wince.
