Was the article itself written by AI?

McSweeney's is a well known Internet satire site that has been in operation for decades; while there are multiple contributors, the style here seems fairly standard for the site, the author has a submission history going back to at least 2020 and I see no LLM cliches. Suspecting AI here makes about as much sense to me as suspecting it on an arbitrarily selected LWN article.
