Honestly, despite the regular "not X, just Y" constructs, I actually think it was written by a human. Or at the very least mostly written by a human.

Something about how the argument and rationale builds up does not scream LLM to me.

You may be sleeping on just how good LLMs have got at writing blog-posts.

Go ahead and ask your favourite one this:

> Can you draft a blog post titled, "All my clients wanted a carousel, now it's an AI chatbot!"

> Don't search the web, just go with vibes.

I did, and this was the result: https://richardcocks.github.io/chum/blogexample.html

Okay, not quite there, very much more obviously LLM than the OP, but a bit of tweaking, some feedback to drop the headings and the table, and:

And that's with zero blog-writing "skills", with no memories, a fresh incognito session and only the title to prompt.

Complete with call-out:

> The feature was never really about the users. It was about the client feeling like they were keeping up. The technology changes. The psychology doesn't.

Complete with the horse-shit, "Honest dispatches from a decade in the web trenches"
