Crazy to see AI slop being posted on tao's blog.

Isn't it strange how the AI disclaimer is at the end of the writing instead of the start. Almost as if they are trying to hide it.

You must have some variant of banner blindness, because another mention of AI use is also at the start of the text.

The top AI usage is for converting into a different format (really like pdf2html or something), which is unrelated to AI slop and done by Tao himself and not the guest authors.

It is disappointing, but I think he gets a lot of contributors who are not that proficient at English
