The ars technica twist is a brutal wakeup call that I can't actually tell what is ai slob garbage shit by reading it- and even if I can't tell, that doesn't mean it's fine because the crap these companies are shoveling is still wrong, just stylistically below my detectability.
I think I need to log off.
Skimming through the archive of the Ars piece, it's indeed much better written than the "ai slob garbage shit" standard I'm used to. I think I could adapt to detect this sort of thing to a limited extent, but it's pretty scarily authentic-looking and would not ordinarily trip my "ai;dr" instinct.
