Honestly I was fooled, but looking closer, it is all suspicious and I agree. For example the author's other posts, and the relatively canned nature of each post with a clear thesis put into a prompt. The framing and language I guess was how you caught it.

I really can't wait when reality flips and it's socially acceptable to save on my 45€ monthly internet fee and live offline again, exciting times we're heading towards
Suggesting that „fast-food revolution” was inadequate solution to global hunger might be a tell.
That's probably the most human aspect of the article.
