If you point out the excessive length, the rhetorical flaws, and the obvious idiomatic tics of AI writing people don't tend to want to hear it.
When authors had to do the work, you'd notice your article approaching 1900 words and feel the natural need to cut redundant platitudes like this:

And the best part? Opening paragraphs with questions.
