Did they also use Gemini Flash to write this article? Because, frankly, it's unbearable

Very clearly. Even if you have no qualms with AI I don't understand why people think writing in this cliched style is ok.

On the other hand people thought it was fine to use cliched titles like "The unreasonable effectiveness of..", "... for fun and profit", "The rise and fall of ...", "All you need is ...", etc. etc.

So I guess there's just a large portion of writers that are immune to cliche? Pretty annoying anyway.
