Why people don't edit out obvious sloppification and expect to still have readers left

Third line in to the article: "But there’s one result in the benchmarks I keep coming back to."

I hear this sort of thing all the time now on YouTube from media/news personalities:

“And that’s the part nobody seems to be talking about.”

"And here's what keeps me up at night."

“This is where the story gets complicated.”

“Here’s the piece that doesn’t quite fit.”

“And this is where the usual explanation starts to break down.”

“Here’s what I can’t stop thinking about.”

“The part that should worry us is not the obvious one.”

“And that’s where the real problem begins.”

“But the more interesting question is the one no one is asking.”

“And this is where things stop being simple.”

It doesn't really worry me but I think its interesting that LLM speak sounds so distinctive, and how willing these media personalities are to be so obvious in reading out on TV what the LLM spat out.

I've never studied what LLMs say in depth is it is interesting that my brain recognises the speech pattern so easily.

So are we saying it's fine that the article is written by an LLM as long as it doesn't have the tell-tale signs of LLMs?

Are you referring to the literal use of the expression "full stop"? I don't see it anymore in the article, maybe they edited it out?
