    This article was clearly written with AI.

    I copied this text from the article, and all the text is close together and appeared on my screen at the same time:

    The state-level numbers make that abstract claim concrete

    Business professor Arie Brish argues data centers should function like major real-estate developments — with binding, pre-negotiated agreements on who funds generation, transmission, and backup capacity before a single server rack goes online. Right now, those infrastructure costs get averaged across everyone’s bill instead. That’s not a market failure. That’s a policy choice.

    I don’t think anyone would write “make that abstract claim concrete” or “That’s not a market failure. That’s a policy choice.” and use an em dash unless they wanted to make the text seem like it was AI generated.

      Articles always had em dashes in them. It‘s a sign of AI in internet posts and comments but not so much in longer text forms I believe. The „It‘s not A. it‘s B!“ thing is really suspicious though. I think it‘s AI too.
