This looks really really AI-generated even if the author did try to hide it by making some grammar elements improper. Idk if that diminishes it's accuracy though.

I don't know why you are downvoted. The article is AI blogspam, it doesn't have any more factual information than eg https://www.darkreading.com/application-security/vercel-empl... and is full of empty LLMisms. It's depressing people are willing to read this.

The author’s site is on Vercel.

So I believe the author has exposure to the issue and interest in understanding it, that’s more than AI alone has got.

It's absolutely LLM prose, though not all of it. Maybe the author rewrote parts.

The thing that concerns me is that even at a site like HN, where a lot of people are very familiar with LLMs, it seems to be passing.

I hate to think this will become the norm but it's not the first HN linked post that's gotten a lot of earnest engagement despite being AI generated (or partly AI generated).

I'm very comfortable with AI generated code, if the humans involved are doing due diligence, but I really dislike the idea of LLM generated prose taking over more and more of the front page.

I thought the same. Normal people don’t write that way.
