Why does this read like chatGPT?

Because it is.

Is it accurate....but AI?

There are 2 (rarely 3) pilots for flights like this. One can be flying while the other is handling a lot of the other details, and so on. Chadgpt isn't taking that into account, they are trained for this, and so on

Not a way anyone, especially a pilot or someone into aviation would, speak about performing a go around. Plus the small segmented paragraphs really push this into chatGPT territory. You don't "perfectly time" pulling in the landing gear or slats/flaps. You wait for an appropriate airspeed and increase in altitude to retract the landing gear and slats/flaps. No need to perfectly time that. You wait for the correct moment and go from there.

Perfectly time < wait for the correct moment.

No. If the flaps stay down a little longer than absolutely necessary, nothing bad happens. There's no particular time value involved.

Sort of. At certain speeds you can damage the landing gear but the margin for error is significant on recommended, needs verified, needs maintaince, needs replaced, and look out below is rather large

Sure, but that's not a timing problem, that's a speed problem.
There's a number of factors that need to be considered and managed in relation to each other, but while it might take time for speed to build to a point where you can milk up flaps after applying power, you're not timing the response, you're using feedback from the airspeed indicator.

The way I understand perfect timing is that there's a tight window to perform an action, otherwise you are fucked. For example, "retract the gear while your airspeed is between 120 and 125 knots or you lose your chance".

Waiting for the correct moment is more clear in the sense that you just do something after something else has happened. For example, "retract the gear only after you've reached an airspeed of 120 knots and above".

This happens all over Reddit now. Karma farming bots

Lmao i love this joke

Because chatGPT is trained on human input. 

These days anyone who writes even a little bit clearly or succinctly, with good structure, is accused of being chatGPT, but really it's the other way around. ChatGPT was trained on writing like that, so it emulatsd writing like that.

What I read was far from "awesome!" – wall of text that imparted next to no new knowledge.

These paragraphs were the most meaningless piece of text I've read today

Most of your comments read as if you're manually using a chatbot and regurgitating the response. Incredibly sad and embarrassing. Please delete your account and reflect on your life.
