      What signals this as being LLM writing for you? I'm crap at noticing specifics here

        Stuff like this is a giveaway for me:

        > Drawing it on a GPU, crisply, at any size, under any 3D transform, while the text changes every frame, is not.

        > One small texture, resolution independent within reason, one cheap shader.

        English is not my native language, so I may be wrong here.
