Yeah, I suppose I am in the minority here, but I still judge a posts on their merits.

LLM witch hunts are tiresome.

(Perhaps the worst part too is that an accusation can be leveled and there's no way to counter. If it's a vacuous fluff piece, say so—irregardless of who/how it was written. And there we are judging a piece on its merits…)

Yeah I didn't flag it myself. I skimmed it and I didn't get an immediate AI vibe, like someone else said it seemed to be trying to use the motherf*in website style

Unlike witches, LLM content exists. And worse, it has proliferated to a point where you are more likely to spot LLM content in the wild then human written content.

Witch hunts are bad because they target innocent people and burn them at the stake. When the whole internet has been filled with LLM content, it is not unreasonable, expected even, that you start accusing everything of being an LLM, because, most likely, it is.
