I don't even really care AI or human if its written like this. I would rather do anything else than continue reading.

"At least nine issues tell the same story"
"every change lands in both at once"
It's Claudlish, so of course a community full of people who spend lots of time talking to Claude would notice this.
And there's no excuse now anyway the latest Opus/Astra models are actually tolerable. Use those if you must.
Not being able to effectively proofread will make slop even sloppier.
But it's full on the "AI slop" style, a mix of LinkedIn/Online Marketing/Listicle like writing. That it's part of hundreds of thousands of articles, all with the same mechanical style, makes it even more tedious than if it was just some individual blog post here and there.
"Set the scene" paragraphs to add suspense, repeated lists of three or more items, "and, honestly"/"does real load-bearing work" and phrases like this, mic drops after every few paragraphs, writing about mundane stuff like a marketing executive, the list goes on.
This one isn't even one of the really eggregious examples.
There's no reason to be this nasty. If you don't like the writing, skip the post.
For what it's worth, the writing is clear and it gets the point across.
OP, thank you for doing the work and for sharing it.
I can bet author didn't even read his own AI generated text.... I don't have any issue with AI, but it would be nice if people spend time over creating quality stuff.
Get a life and read something you want to read instead of spilling your bile on somebody sharing their work.
If you are going to be 'the-grump' you should find something interesting to be grumpy about, nobody wants to hear your "everyone should be nice all the time except me" horse crap. If it isn't intentional trolling you have next to zero insight into what you are actually doing.
I'll dish it out and dish it back, but I'll never talk down to someone because I don't like how they write or their method of solving problems. We are not all born with the same gifts (or with English as our native tongue).
That's what some here don't seem to understand, that there's a way to put things gently when you're addressing someone to their (virtual) face.
I pasted it into chatgpt with the prompt "analyze the tone of the-grump and check for condescending language and tone. give examples if any." and here is what it says:
Yes, several of the-grump's comments read as condescending. Defending the author from harsh criticism is reasonable, but some of the language used in that defense also talks down to others.
Were you not also taught to "say something nice or nothing at all?"
This is the clearest example. Invoking a childhood manners lesson positions the other person as someone who needs basic correction. You don't see how it's nasty, and then you pile your own nastiness on top.
This is scolding. It treats disagreement as a failure to recognize something obvious, rather than explaining which wording crossed a line. Get a life ... instead of spilling your bile on somebody sharing their work.
This is primarily insulting and contemptuous. Hostility is clearer here than condescension specifically. And who has an interest in your opinion, pray tell.
This is sarcastic and dismissive. "Pray tell" adds a mocking, superior tone, although the remark also echoes the preceding commenter's dismissal of the-grump's opinion. That's what some here don't seem to understand, that there's a way to put things gently...
This presents others as lacking basic interpersonal understanding while placing the speaker in the role of teaching it.
