    I don’t see the point of letting an LLM generate an article when the topic is your personal, subjective experience which only you, a human, would be able to express.

      So anything that has em dashes is now considered LLM generated? What made you think this is generated?

        "It's young, and it shows"

        "Holds up"

        "not a toy, but not a sprawling project either, and ideally.."

        "And that’s the trap"

        ctrl F "real" -> 6 usages

        ctrl F "genuine" -> 4 usages

          Are these obvious signs of AI generation?

            In aggregate, yes.

            And even if LLMs didn’t exist (or had different idiosyncrasies), the article would still be exhibiting a repeatedly weird and stilted writing style.
