"Today, traveling to the same Caribbean islands can be tricky, as anyone caught with contraband can face serious repercussions."

That is a very odd take on the Caribbean, and it's the third paragraph in the article. I've seen text spinners, but this feels AI-driven. Surely a human couldn't be this inane.

Its a link to other articles on the same site, nothing nefarious

It just felt gratuitously weird. It was completely out of place given the purpose of the article. Either it served to support some beef the author has with that region, or just to find any excuse to link to another article on the site.

Yeah, traveling anywhere with contraband is dangerous. Why single out the Caribbean?

LLMs have gotten good enough that it’s practically impossible to tell apart the difference in output between a real human mid-wit writer and LLM output, especially if it has gone through some editing.

So it’s probably best to err on the side of caution.
