Can you share some excerpts from that article that feel LLM-written to you?

Yeah my thoughts exactly. Definitely slop. I have no objection to using AI to help writing. I just don't want to read the same sloppy cliches again and again and again. The short sentences. The Bigger Picture. Here's the rub. It's not just A, it's B.

It's like those cliche titles - for fun and profit, the unreasonable effectiveness of, all you need is, etc. etc. but throughout the prose. Stop it guys!

Can you share some excerpts from that article that feel LLM-written to you?

Sure. Short sentences like "It shouldn’t be.", "I’ve moved on.", "Ollama didn’t.", etc.

Not-this-but-that like "The local LLM ecosystem doesn’t need Ollama. It needs llama.cpp."

Weird signposting: "Benchmarks tell the story."

Heres-the-rub conclusion: "The Bigger Picture"

Starting every title with "The ...".

It's definitely largely human-written, but there are enough slop-isms to make it annoying to read. And of course it's totally possible for a human to write an an AI style, but that doesn't make it any less annoying.

I guess I write like an LLM :P

Probably a side effect of using them so much
