What makes you say that? I didn't get that feeling at all, and found it pretty interesting as well.

Things like:

> Not eventually. Quickly. The relationship between books and shelf space is not linear; it is exponential,

Are pretty AI in style: Over use. Of. Short. Sentences. - The it's not this; it's that - in a way that doesn't make sense - I mean books/meter is linear.

etc.

Not sure about the morals of using AI. I assume there really is a Bruno van Branden with 28k books?

The second submission by this bvanbranden account getting flagged today is a clear, well, red flag.

Which also did not seem to me to be AI generated. I read that one to the end and it seemed coherent enoght.

The writer has been writing articles on books going back to 2017 at least.

What kind of book cataloguing software (excluding something like an order system for a printer of present day books) demands an ISBN? The article smells due to its complete omission of any verifiable software or marketplace that does this.

It is not my field, but a quick search suggests that LibraryThing is a candidate.

I too enjoyed reading it and found it well written, with only a few passages that made my “AI” nose perk up. But FWIW, Pangram agrees with deadletterq. Guess this is one of those <matrix_steak_joe_pantoliano.jpg> moments.
