I genuinely feel disrespected if AI is used to write an article and it's not disclosed in the first paragraph. It's not really that big of a deal, tbh, it's like saying "I took a picture, I didn't paint it."

Which is fine, but please disclose it. Otherwise, like in this case, I'm going to assume the author is a moron that can't write for shit who thinks their readers are morons that can't read for shit.

Agree. Also because of the way AI writes, it takes SO LONG to read through it (they're trained on blogspam where the page tells you the author's life story as well as the bloody history of bread before telling you how to bake it)
That's why in this case I usually ask to another AI to make me a short summary with the main points. I wish the human behind the looong article idea chooses to publish a short summary directly instead.
Please can you explain the evidence that this is generated content.

Yes, the site is new, but other posted articles are 100% consistent with the author wanting a guaranteed level of local inference with large models.

What I read was written by a skeptic who took claims and systematically addressed a number of issues. The debunking was concise and used simple sentences.

The boxes in the pictures were, to my eyes, generated manually using the macOS Preview annotation feature. They are not well aligned. I've used this technique many times to general overlays. If this were me, I'd get called out. I like nicely spaced and proportioned boxes! NB: iFixit tear downs are mis-aligned as well and it bugs me.

People have a distasteful habit of assigning others into boxes. Particularly if that box currently has a negative connotation. Boxing is a primary tool of the; misguided, bullies, sycophants, censors and those with an unspoken agenda. Humor: Which box applies?
