The writing style seems a little unnatural, but the odd grammatical error convinced me that it wasn't the result of someone asking an LLM to review the libraries and write the reviews in the voice of an intellectual who went to Harvard.

What a world we live in, that suspecting an LLM guided by a specific prompt would be my first instinct.

The trope of HN comments determining whether an article was written by AI is becoming extremely tiresome.

The author says he is a visiting researcher from ETH Switzerland. That is he is not a native English speaker.

That's easily solved by models intentionally introducing the odd grammatical error here and there, just enough to convince the sceptics, not so many as to give the impression of being unlettered. A bit like the mythical 'RHS button' (which stands for 'real human shitty' but in reality is called the 'Shuffle' or 'Swing' function) which is supposed to make mechanically-precise drum machines sound more like human drummers.

"We?" I had no such trouble. You should spend less time with LLMs, if you can.
