'In one of my classes I asked the question I was afraid to ask but I just needed the answer to: “Who is afraid of not getting a job after graduating?” About eighty percent of the 150 people in the room raised their hands. That is roughly 120 students answering, in one motion, that they do not believe there is a place for them in the future.'
It's quite a leap to go from "I'm afraid of not getting a job after graduating" to "I do not believe there is a place for me in the future". Maybe it hasn't been the case for computer scientists in the past decade, but it's pretty normal to be worried about getting a job after graduating from one's college problem, even if one knows that most people get jobs when they graduate.
I stopped reading soon after that, when it became obvious that the article was LLM-written.
I would. LLM writing is painful, but I don't think working to avoid their idiosyncrasies is doing anybody any good. I also don't think it's painful because of those idiosyncrasies, but because of a certain inhuman je ne sais pas throughout the entire prose.
"je ne sais quoi" is the more frequent phrase, means "I don't know what", the "je ne sais pas" just means "I don't know".
...and you're right, it's not the idiosyncrasies, it's the fluffy meandering meaningless purposeless vapidity.

I believe both stories are wrong, and wrong for the same reason.
In this day and age, anyone who writes their own essays would never write that.
