It’s not quite as dreary as the raw results of asking ChatGPT to write a whole essay, but platitudes like this are typical of AI prose:
As we move forward, it is vital to consider the impact of AI on our social and emotional well-being and take steps to mitigate its adverse effects.
As is the lack of anything concrete: no data (I predict that the James Barrat reference was provided by the poster), just impressionistic ramblings about the present and daydreams about the future, carefully structured into paragraphs signposted with “One of” and “Another” and “Furthermore”, a banal melody that is not enlivened by the rumpty-tumpty rhythm.
Considering that GPT uses texts generated by humans for training, there should also be many humans writing like this… or am I making a mistake somewhere?
Eliezer caricatured a certain form of platitudinous writing here, well before the LLMs, so yes, maybe some people do write like GPT’s excreted mashup of the whole internet. So much the worse for them.
But the OP here...I stand by what I said of it, both the quality of the prose and its likely source.
Thanks for the feedback. I wrote it, and I use some Grammarly suggestions to make my writing more concise because I write initially like a stream of consciousness in whatever the most simple form I can come up with is and don’t spend much time editing.

The mean need not resemble the data.
