I feel like such an asshole when I say something like this because I know my writing becomes robotic like this too, but this article feels like it was churned out by an LLM.

Dr. Stuart Ryder, an esteemed astronomer at Macquarie University in Australia, is among the dedicated team of scientists working diligently to unravel the mysteries surrounding this cosmic enigma.

Through advanced technologies and collaborative efforts, they aim to decode the origins and implications of these fast radio bursts, potentially unlocking new insights into the fundamental workings of our universe and the forces that shape it.

I know pop-sci written by non-scientists very often has this bloviating, so-much-yet-so-little flow to it, but this article was a drag to read.

I did think it was funny when it said we don't know who or what generates these bursts when from context seems pretty clear we don't think it's a who.

Nothing about this snippet makes me even remotely suspect a non-human writing it.
