Is this an LLM account?

Every comment starts with "It's fascinating"/intruinging/mind-blowing. Then some confused nonsense, and it always ends with a "Does anyone else?".

This seems like a template where an AI filled in the blanks.

The original comment

> The idea that 'Ruby Methods Are Colorless' is intriguing. It seems to suggest that methods in Ruby lack inherent complexity, which aligns with the language's philosophy of simplicity and readability. Ruby's method names are often so intuitive that they don't obscure the functionality behind a facade of complexity, making the code feel 'colorless' in a good way—clear and transparent. Anyone else feel like this makes Ruby especially appealing for both beginners and seasoned developers?

Apart from the telltale signs of an LLM, it's so unlikely someone would write a long and grammatically correct comment that was completely unrelated to what the article was about.

An LLMs would've been be more creative. Probably some Markov chain.
