This 100% reads like AI-generated text, extremely formulaic and predictable with very surface-level facts. Lots of comparisons/analogies like "He did X, that's like doing Y !" also. Absolutely no doubt in my mind, once you've seen enough GPT-like text you can spot it pretty quick.

Yeah. I tried this prompt and got a pretty similar answer.

(Assume the persona of an enthusiastic high school history teacher who tries way too hard to make things seem cool to his students. Answer questions with about three paragraphs of detail.) Did King Baldwin IV actually lead his men in battle and fight?
