    Holy shit you were not kidding.

    This is how extinction begins: not with a natural disaster, but with a six-page government memo.

      Bad look for the person who submitted it. Considering she’s the staff lawyer and director of nature programs, you would kind of expect her to be more than capable of expressing her sentiments in her own words. It’s not like she’s in a roll where you might expect her to need some help to write coherently. Comes across as lack of concern for her own professional image and her message.

      Looks like a literary allusion to T.S. Eliot to me. Something a highly literate (human) writer might find as a poetic turn of phrase. I could see how people who aren’t as widely read might think it looks like AI instead of a reference to classic literature.

        I just don’t think a human who understand the subject matter and their audience would write that sentence. It’s just so trying to be more than it is that even if a human did write it somehow that’s worse.
