   Why does this article read like it's AI-generated?

      Why is that important? If the point is well made, if the content is interesting, why should I care whether a human or an LLM wrote it?

      Most of us don't seem to care anymore if the _code_ is written by AI, so why should we care if other _content_ is written by AI?

         Because I don't care what a machine "thinks" I care what a real human thinks. We are losing the internet's remaining culture by consuming this type of content.

         To restate what I put elsewhere, I genuinely don't think I care much for how it was written. The problem is that it felt exhausting to read and was chock full of the same claudese voice that makes claude so infuriatingly exhausting to read. I gave it a try and gave up halfway through. If it was AI generated but was a good read that conveyed a central point/theme, I wouldn't be complaining. This at least is trying to argue a single point, but it does so in what feels like at least 10x the word count.
