While AI was clearly used to generate and structure a first draft, I say it has been extensively rewritten by the author. In my experience, AI tends to avoid the first person, instead writing from a passive observer or even using sentences without verbs. The length of the sentences is also more natural. AI had trouble with bind-words in an argument. It just states separate facts and assumes because they are stated in order you have a reasoning. I'm not seeing that here.
Of course, idioms are preserved, and not everything is rewritten.
I quite ok with this style, it isn't grating. I expect this will be a style we'll see more of in science.
It wouldn't surprise me that even if you opt-out they still train on 'de-identified' chat data. After all, facts cannot be copyrighted and one cannot be sued for unethical behaviour.
