Bait article with an awful chatgpt generated image at the top to boot.

  How is it “bait”? It’s covering a fairly brazen supply chain attack, what were you expecting?

    Perhaps not something displaying every hallmark of an AI-generated article.

      That's not a popular opinion to express these days. If you point out the excessive length, the rhetorical flaws, and the obvious idiomatic tics of AI writing people don't tend to want to hear it. When authors had to do the work, you'd notice your article approaching 1900 words and feel the natural need to cut redundant platitudes like this: > The postmark-mcp backdoor isn't just about one malicious developer or 1,500 weekly compromised installations. It's a warning shot about the MCP ecosystem itself. An AI feels no such need, and will happily drag their readers through a tiresome circuitous journey.

        And the best part? Opening paragraphs with questions. // Where did the machines learn this? LinkedIn influencers?

        My AI-dar must suck. Can you give details on how you detected AI usage? Was it just a vibe?

          The big giveaways for me are overused idiomatic phrasing, and being unable to progress through a thesis and just circling the same idea over and over. The "this isn't just a _____, it's a (adjective of magnitude) _____, _____, and ______" form is one of the most egregious I see everywhere.
