    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?

      Carnian Pluvial Event

      I had one of those in college after too many tamales and too much beer. It was quite embarrassing and also painful. I couldn’t sit for days.
