The author did change some things to try to pass the LLM test. For example, they removed the apostrophe from I've. The problem, of course, is that this isn't enough to actually pass it, and the author would need to practically rewrite it in their own words to actually come off as natural.

And yes, I agree with you: it's sad seeing LLM-generated slop taking over the front page. I (possibly naively) hope that this trend starts reversing itself sometime soon, as HN is a valuable resource for me to discover new and fascinating things.
