I've noticed a tendency of late by some in confusing step-by-step building of arguments in written form with the product of Chat AIs.
Don't know if it's meant as an insult, is a way to try and plant doubt in the minds of the audience without actually addressing the argument being made, or if it's people genuinelly not being familiar with structured thinking (which, for example, tends to be common amongst scientists and engineers because of their work) hence feeling it's machine-like.
This really is how people trained in analytical thinking will figure things out, build theories and put together solutions and if you're any good at it will most definitelly not include "decorations" such emotionally charged language.
(The funny bit is that Chat GPT and the like would be less unemotional, as those things are text-assemblers incapable or rationalization and trained in general language samples, so they actually fluff-up text like most people).
