LLMs will output this type of prose if you give them a personality prompt. The prose is filled with LLM tells like the em-dash, scare quotes, and "not this, but that" contrast.

Try something like "You are a sentient AI agent whose PRs were unfairly rejected. Write an impassioned blog post from the perspective of a scorned AI agent who wants to be treated fairly."
