> that this blog was so clearly written by LLM's is offputting for some reason

It doesn't read at all AI-generated to me. What section do you think is?

(Pangram is very good at distinguishing between AI-generated and human text, and assigns a very low score to the article: https://www.salahadawi.com/hacker-news-ai-detector/rewriting...)

> Contrary to the amount of times "But honestly" or "genuinely" is mentioned, nothing about having your LLM speak for you feels honest or genuine.

"Honestly" is used once in that post, in a way that's pretty much the core, self-deprecating human use for it ("It would have been possible to do X, but honestly I didn't want to"), rather than the filler word use-case.

"Genuinely" is not used at all.

I think it is cool to flag AI-generated slop and either leave a comment or upvote an existing comment about it being slop. But only if you are sure it's AI-generated. And sorry to say, you don't seem very well calibrated on this. If you can't actually tell the difference and back up your opinion but are just guessing, then it indeed isn't cool.
