This entire article reads like it was fully written by AI unfortunately

[imadr]

Is it the em dashes? I didn't get the feeling it was AI generated at all

It's current year, of course they used AI to help [0], and it does feel like the article was AI assited.

"This map isn't flat — it has 5 levels of elevation."

"The ocean isn't just a blue plane — it has animated caustic sparkles"

"The fundamental issue:" and "The key constraint:"

I still enjoyed the article.

At what point is this style going to become human style? Kids use LLMs to learn, pick up their patterns, repeat them.

just a quick example from the backtracking section:

"Here's the dirty secret of WFC: it fails. A lot. You make a series of random choices, propagate constraints, and eventually back yourself into a corner where some cell has zero valid options left. Congratulations, the puzzle is unsolvable."

Besides what others said. The "The Numbers" section is a dead giveaway. LLM likes to generate random summary stats in a metrics grid without any prompting.
