That sentence is typical of an AI composition in how it uses words without understanding them. I point in particular to the odd use of paradigm. An AI will present familiar sounding verbiage, but it's often nonsense to those who actually understand. And it isn't your friend because it won't help you to actually understand. I grant it is better at making people *think* they understand because it doesn't have as many seemingly awkward bits that are the part where you are supposed to have to think hard.
