Hey, article author here. No, it's not an AI article. I've been sick the past couple of days and overlooked that heading. What I meant by it was that peripheral support changes how the device positions itself compared to others on the market.
I'll fix it, and thanks for mentioning it, but I also wanted to add that the "AI article" accusation was unnecessary. I spent a lot of time going through Espressif's documentation and the datasheet, and working out how Sv32 works and differs from the "MMU" implementation Espressif typically touts. It just feels like a strange accusation to tack on to an otherwise fair point regarding the article's readability.
Appreciate the honest feedback. I know such accusations are a tired trope - I never said that the article is AI written, but "pumped up". The article obviously contains a lot of grounded insight, but it instinctively felt a bit Claudish - not only attention grabbing section titles (xy is the biggest downfall), but the A-B structured subtitles (which, I see, is a thing at XDA). It's about the style - I grew up with a lot of classical hardware reporting from the 2000s, Tom's, HardOCP or more mainstream classical Gizmodo or Engadget - and skimming through the link urged me enough to blurp the above, for how I miss the stern, technical, but still fun and gonzo type of reporting nowadays only found in some personal blogs.
