That I'm a real human being that is stupid in English sometimes? :)

I knew it was real as soon as I read “I stared to see a pattern”, which is funny now I find weird little non spellcheck mistakes endearing since they stamp “oh this is an actual human” on the work
Ha! Despite the fact that I tend to proof read my posts before publishing, right after publishing, and sometimes re-reading them few months after publishing, I still tend to not notice some obvious typos. Kinda makes you feel appreciation for the profession of editors and spell checkers. (And yes, I use LanguageTools in neovim, but I refuse to feed my articles to LLMs).
Your stared typo passes spellcheck.
Or the user has "ChatGPT, add random misspellings so it looks like a human wrote this" in their system config.
That's just what an AI would say :)

Nice article, though. Thanks.

I'd read 100 blog posts by humans doing their best to write coherent English rather than one LLM-sandblasted post
