    It's very likely that there is some serious autovectorisation going on behind the scenes.

    Telltale slop: "And honestly? I didn’t see it coming."

      The bolding of subjects of the sentences, the pacing of the various sections, the overuse of em dashes.

      Something felt weird with the whole thing. Like I was supposed to read it and have my mind blown? But there wasn’t enough substance to go around for an entire article.

      Likely AI slop.
