Was this post written with (the help of) ChatGPT (or similar)? Because it reads a lot like it: it is poorly written, incoherent, repetitive and, honestly, quite shallow.

Just run it by AI Text Classifier (OpenAI) [0], it said that it was likely to be AI-generated. I know the accuracy of such classifiers is nowhere near acceptable, but it really reads quite shallow.

The same thought occurred to me. Maybe someone whose written English isn't great and is using ChatGPT to compensate. But I think people are being overly harsh about this article. It's certainly speculative, but it makes no claim to be anything but that and speculation isn't always a bad thing. People in this thread are demanding rigorous evidence, but speculation comes before evidence gathering and experimentation, and I'm sure there will be plenty of that as time goes on.
Like most of blogspams that one can find on the Internet.
Also vague summary and not convincing headers (what is written in the biggest font).
