No, it's not. As should be obvious from the writing style alone - no LLM writes like that, and you should easily see the absence of the usual markers like the ChatGPT twist ending or the repetitive triplets... If you're that bad at spotting LLM writing, don't go around accusing people of it.
I did ask the LLMs for ideas, and used many, but the original idea and seed list was mine, the curation was mine, and the overall work is mine, and I wrote almost every word myself because I disliked the LLM style that much. I take full responsibility for it as being worth reading and better than any LLM does on this topic. (This is why I do not credit them as co-authors like I do on some of my pieces.) Also, a lot of them were dumb and I discarded them entirely. (I'm sorry, Claude-4-opus, you really wanted some sort of quantum multiverse or anthropics category of pinball hacks, but I just couldn't think of one which wasn't stupid.)
If you are curious, I am happy to share my LLM sessions as best as I can (sometimes the 'sharing' is disabled for reasons I don't understand, which makes it hard). Here is the main ChatGPT session: https://chatgpt.com/share/683c93e8-2c74-8006-a5f6-f08cbaa96058 https://chatgpt.com/share/683c93e8-2c74-8006-a5f6-f08cbaa960... Also https://chatgpt.com/share/683c948e-57e8-8006-8064-2c768e2db3c0 https://chatgpt.com/share/683c948e-57e8-8006-8064-2c768e2db3... https://chatgpt.com/share/683c94a1-37d4-8006-8618-98543430aef8 https://chatgpt.com/share/683c94a1-37d4-8006-8618-98543430ae... So you can see for yourself what I curated and rewrote into into my final version, and how I did it.
