worst case, it's not generated and they just used ai for editing without realizing it has such a distinct style. that might be the case here: in the couple of paragraphs around the "I am but one" heading the writing style seems (to me) different (more human-ish?) compared to the style at the beginning. unfortunately I also think they're quite bad, so I'm not sure what the moral here is for the author (who, true to their word, has elected to stay anonymous).

the question I asked in my comment isn't rhetorical, by the way: I genuinely think it's a pattern, and I want to look into it a bit deeper

oh and for the record, I don't suggest you disregard the article. it raises valid points and I agree with it. go read it!

There is no information about the author of this article, and it has the "AI smell". It's safer to operate under the assumption that it is AI generated unless and until the author reveals themself or at least anonymously confirms that it is not AI generated. This saves you from having made a fool of yourself by spreading it around, if it later becomes apparent that AI wrote it.
