The blog post does the “It’s not X, it’s Y” pattern a few times. It’s hard not to assume the post is just produced by an LLM.

It’s frustrating not knowing whether I’m reading the musings of a real person, or the output of an LLM.

I've taken the stance that garbage is garbage, whether written by a human or an AI. It's not like the internet wasn't chock full of insipid philosophy and astroturfing before LLMs were around. It seems like people are starting to read everything on the internet with a much more critical eye because of LLMs, and I think that might be a good thing. As someone who's always been cynical, I say: welcome everyone! It sucks over here, but it sucked over there too, you just didn't know it.

But yes, this was almost certainly LLM. In real humans, the quality of thought has a stronger correlation with the quality of writing.
