There is good, useful content in this article, but it is seriously overshadowed by the LLM-isms indicating that a nontrivial part of it is AI generated.

I'm obviously channeling my inner boomer here, but as soon as I start seeing the tells of AI authoring, I just give up on the article altogether. To the author, please consider that I and many others want to see your thought process, warts and all, there is no need to hide behind the facade of the LLM screed.

It just reads like a marketing pitch. Using an AI-generated header image gives up the game at the start

Given that both my daughters - teen and tween - as well as I myself - gen X - have the same impulse I don't consider this a 'boomer' thing but a 'human' one. As long as genAI- produced text reads like empty marketroid drivel that impulse will remain.
