The first 12 paragraphs and the last paragraph are completely boilerplate. There are two paragraphs in the middle that were probably human-written. What I don't know is whether this is just a prosthetic "code-generation" tool for their writers, or whether it's just this one writer.
This Google search shows that it is definitely boilerplate, and that some articles appear to be 100% generated:
