I don't feel like it's AI, but I do get the feeling of reading someone dipping into the bucket of their local version of English slang, and maybe doing some context switching that they cannot handle as adeptly as could be hoped, to the detriment of the article's readability.
I suppose there are probably people out there snorting in disbelief and saying "you're one to talk", but that's how I feel.
It's not AI, it's just someone writing that is deep into a particular niche and community and is using much of that language outside that niche without considering their audience probably as much as they should.
