Ngl, this article feels bloviating bordering on AI-generated and/or a padded high school essay. Here's the relevant Wikipedia article. For instance, by the way:
This event underscores the complex relationship between catastrophic environmental changes and evolutionary processes, offering valuable insights into the resilience and adaptability of life on Earth. [thank you, obligatory 'Conclusion' paragraph from all my phoned-in high school essays.]
The Carnian Pluvial Event, also known as the Carnian crisis, has left its mark in geological records across the globe, suggesting a widespread environmental impact. [no shit it had a widespread environmental impact??]
"Underscores the complex relationship" is classic AI slop writing. If I saw that phrase in a student essay I would roll my eyes and open the academic integrity report form.
Wow, you should not be a teacher then! Using a stock phrase is something that students are extremely likely to do as they read online content and learn to formulate their own voice. A single phrase can only be considered as extremely circumstantial evidence. You are not a reliable AI detection machine, regardless of what you may have convinced yourself of.
Btw, out of curiosity, what is your (or your school's) official policy on AI usage?
I love this comment for contrasting the images of using the word "bloviating" and supposedly "phoning in" your high school essays. Oh, and saving me a crappy article read. Ty!
