Lines are getting thinner closer to the center. This is not a gradient, but I understand what they meant. AI would use correct word for this.

OpenAI's own logo description was also written by you-know who: https://openai.com/brand/ The part I find funny is "right angles introduce the precision and structure that technology demands" while the logo is hexagonal and has no right angles at all. Precision and structure not included!

I guess it has to do with the fact that everything is greyscale nowadays ... did you notice there are no more coloured cars, and the few that are there are all faded.

I think because people are visually overstimulated from all the content in their phones, they prefer plain minimal design in the physical world.

You are absolutely right! It was an honest mistake on my part. The absence of colour is the smoking gun.
