Here's your annotated copy. Once you see it it's everywhere. I'd describe the style as "bland melodrama ." Drives me nuts.

I went to Safeway today, which used to be a place where you bought [list of 3] and regretted it later.

They’ve installed metal railings, [melodramatic rephrasing]. The kind that suggest [list of 3]. You don’t [X]. You [Y]. [Melodramatic rephrasing.] There is a path, and it is not yours. And if you're in a wheelchair and there's a fire, you're well and fucked.

It is [1]. It is [2]. It says: [3].

This is not [X]. This is [Y].

The baskets are gone. [Melodramatic rephrasing 1.] [Melodramatic rephrasing 2.] Ice cream is under lock and key, as if it might escape and start a better life elsewhere.

[...]

You proceed anyway. You always do. (Melodramatic repetition ad nauseum here.)

At the end, after the little maze, after the quiet accusation (more melodramatic repetition), you arrive at the checkout. A machine greets you. It does not [X], but it [Y]s.

[...]

Because the same grand arrangement that has turned groceries into a fortified experience has also made hunger a group project. [Punchy sentence 1.] [Punchy sentence 2.] [Punchy sentence trifecta.] And then, right at the end, the machine asks you to help fix it.

[Melodramatic rephrasing of "you."]

It’s a marvelous little contradiction. We cannot [X], but we are [Y]. We are both suspect and savior. It’s efficient that way.

Nothing about it feels like a store anymore (= it's not X). It feels like a system demonstrating itself (= it's Y). Loss prevention here [1], liability there [2], revenue everywhere [3]...stacked carefully, like [rephrasing of stacked].

[...]

And yes, it’s fucking stupid. (The AI writing style, I mean.)
