That might be because the thing is whole-cloth generated from AI, but given that the author has a .in email address, it also might be that English is not their first language but they want to reach a broader audience with their message so they used AI to translate it into the lingua franca of modern technical and scientific discussion (which is, this is always funny to me, not franca). AI generators do a better job of conversational output than traditional language translators (although there is a risk that if you can't read the target language as a non-native speaker, it can distort or destroy the message).

Regardless, presenting AI generated content without the disclaimer *I AI GENERATED THIS CONTENT. IF YOU THINK MY MOST LIKELY BRIEF AND LOW-EFFORT PROMPT JUSTIFIES YOU READING POTENTIALLY LARGE AMOUNTS OF AI OUTPUT, CONTINUE* as if it's worth reading is something a lot of people aren't okay with. I actually find it an insulting imposition on my time. I don't think this is unreasonable or even unusual.

  Given that you've got a detector for AI content, that doesn't seem necessary on the part of the author. You can already tune your browsing experience with a Chrome extension that can scan the target URL and issue you a personally-crafted warning. Win-win.

  They do, in general; that was an inappropriate and incorrect generalization on my part. But we can tab back 10 years in this blogger's history and note their grasp of English wasn't deeply fluid. If they're using AI to bridge the gap, I for one ain't faulting them.

As someone struggling to learn a second language, I would have a lot more sympathy from someone using bad incorrect English than someone passing off AI Slop as their own.
