I rather enjoyed it. I also enjoyed reading something that did not give me the immediate impression it was AI generated.

"Write a snarky, cynical opinion piece about Google in the style of Lewis Black."

The Opus 4.7 output was remarkably similar to the content in this blog.

I noticed it as LLM-written by the middle of the second paragraph. The text is filled with classic rhetorical structures LLMs love making, especially the "it isn't X, it's Y" and "not A, not B, not C, but D" patterns.

It’s the repetitive paragraph structure that raised my suspicions.

Sentence. Short sentence. Noun. Noun. Noun. Sentence to reflect. Wrap it up in a bow.

Sequences of short incomplete sentences, particularly in threes is such a tell
