Yep, clearly LLM assisted writing. It was likely prompted in stages, not one shot with a single prompt. I'm surprised you are basically the only one to notice. It seems most people need to literally see "not X, but Y" or "You're absolutely right!" to recognize it. Interestingly, I think it's gotten to the point that those who don't use LLM's or engage with LLM output often are unable to detect it.

But it is full of "not x, but y", just not above the fold...

Probably many noticed and nobody wanted to spam with the complaint, I decided the spam is worth it for the author to get some feedback.

Ah yeah, it probably is. I noticed I guess the more subtle LLMisms earlier on. I stopped reading fairly early on when I noticed I was wasting my time reading a long AI slop article. I do admittedly read a fair amount of "AI slop", but I prefer to read the ones coming from my own prompt.
