The author has been blogging about this kind of stuff for over 20 years. I'd be surprised if they suddenly let bots autonomously spam their blog.

I was curious if this was just my own stupidity, just human pattern matching run amok. So I decided I'd go back a bit and check another article to see if it felt like that. My initial plan was to go far back enough to when AI usage would've been less likely, but as far as I can tell this particular blog only goes back this far, from april of this year:

Ah, there's our friend Claude. I dunno if I got lucky and picked literally the only article with "load-bearing", but I promise, it wasn't my intention.
This newest article is a lot less egregious in terms of LLM-isms, but I can see why it triggers the AI spidey senses too. If I had to guess I'd be more conservative and guess it was AI-assisted rather than AI-generated, although I'm sure some people have some skills or tools that can do a relatively good job weeding out the more overt LLMisms and even give Pangram a bit of trouble.
Of course in reality, given how many full complete blog posts with things like diagrams they have since April of this year, I think it's only reasonable to say that it would be a little on the surprising end if they weren't using LLM assistance.
It's sad that it's come to this, though. Some days it feels like I'm in a weird low-stakes version of The Thing.
