A research event detailed by the Santa Barbara Bren School of Environmental Science & Management found foxes are using solar farms as natural habitats.
I think you’re probably right. Phrasing like “Not just infrastructure—but a habitat.” (with an em dash) and a few other similar sentences sound like the output of an LLM. Coupled with the whole article being repetitive and waffly, without giving much detail, and it does sound like someone took a paragraph of information and had an LLM blow it up to article length. Still, it’s good to hear about positive outcomes like this.
You are right in the sense that it looks like the author is a real person, because they appear to have linked a linkedin profile (I say appear because right now I cannot access my linkedin account to veryfy it).
Nevertheless, if you copy-paste the text in this AI detector it says that it is 100% AI generated.
foxes are cute, but the article reads like it was hallucinated. whats with the random bold text?

I think you’re right, probably a summary generated from a press brief.
I also found the final report and it says there’s no significance difference between solar and non-solar sites.
