Ignoring for the moment the fact that this particular article is a book summary, a task LLMs excel at, it's interesting that the (warranted) comparison to LLM outputs casts doubt on the credibility of the writing, and in some ways maybe even caps its implied utility.

Just like how human beings choose different ways of presenting themselves to the world (e.g. masculine/feminine, gay/straight, goth/punk/preppy) as a form of social signaling, today's LLMs emit a certain "I'm AI" signal that humans pick up on, and human writers will likely have to continue evolving the counter-position(s) to that signal.

If the results of relatively simple, unsophisticated prompts get better at passing for human-written articles/blog posts/forum comments/etc, that'll increase the fraction of human writing that falls into this uncanny valley, and exacerbate the need for stronger counter-positioning over time.
