And the title/concept seems mostly copied from this YouTube video from a mouth earlier: https://youtu.be/oYlcUbLAFmw?si=T1AIE4w49qF1u7ul

I think about that video quite often

I have no idea how she generated the text, but whether LLM or not, it isn't a recounting of direct experience. The author graduated high school in 2019 and never experienced the Internet of the 90s and doesn't remember pre-2006 because she was a toddler.

That's not necessarily disqualifying. One can be a historian even if not a reporter.

Every article on the Roman Empire is written by people too young for direct experience.

Thanks. Glad I'm not the only one who felt that. I think the author just learned the word panopticon.

It doesn't have the usual giveaways of LLM text (except for the rather prominent dashes) but definitely has a similar verboseness and repetitiveness. Human writing can be like that too, if its author wanted to pad it out to a word quota.
