It doesn't read like AI slop. This is a well structured essay that has a moderately complex point and efficiently explains and gives specific evidence for that point with citations. It even has a (highlighted for emphasis, near the beginning) note explaining to what extent AI was used:

This article is written by me and spell checked with AI. Many of the images are generated by AI and are mostly to break up the wall of text.

The images mostly actually do add to it by illustrating the concepts and being relevant. I'd only really criticize the first (fiber internet infrastructure vs water supply infrastructure) one for being a little lazy in having a duplicate text bubble, and the choice to format with text bubbles with arrows when the arrows don't actually point to anything and it would have been better as bullet points or something.
