> "Why it matters"
It doesn't, it's a corporate blog, they were rarely written in one-author's voice anyway, but it's interesting to see that even large organisations are outsourcing their blogs to LLMs.

It's fascinating seeing people think that if you're snarky enough about something, the substance of that thing actually ceases to be substantive.
It's like staring down the barrel of a gun and taking the time to make quips about the type of paper the gun advertisement was printed on.
This is not just any large organization, it's Anthropic. Their entire shtick is that AIs can do Real Work now and it'd be weird if they didn't behave accordingly themselves.
This is also why Claude Code is full of weird bugs and why their support says that it did refunds when it didn't and so on and so forth.
This looks more like it was edited by AI rather than fully written by it. Or they are using a really good humaniser for the second pass.
Cloudflare blogs have been excellent for many years, long before transformers arrived.
Should that be surprising? Larger orgs are the ones more naturally associated with mediocrity and are most likely to want to reduce human labor hours.
Disappointing really.
Sentence constructions like this definitely scream AI: "That's a reasonable bias for an exploratory tool. It's a ruinous one for a triage queue..."
I will upgrade the "why it matters" to "and now AI output is part of the training data". A day is coming when the punched-up AI verbiage will be the norm and hard to distinguish unless you're from the previous generation. Sort of in the way that I miss some aspects of Usenet.
