It's absurd to think a single word (the comment didn't even say phrase), or even a single phrase, is evidence of AI.

Woah, you must be AI. You used "and/or" and "likely"! (See how absurd that is?)
You are being intentionally obtuse.
It's not the word on its own, it's the word in context: in a news article in a sentence like that one. It's not a 100% given, but it's fairly strong evidence given a basic understanding of modern language informed by the era we're in. Of course it could be a journalist emulating AI for some reason. But the signal here is quite strong.
