I would edit sentences like this: "Erlang is the strongest form of the isolation argument, and it deserves to be taken seriously, which is why what happens next matters." It doesn't add much, and it has this condescending and pretentious LLM tone. For me as a reader, it distracts from an otherwise interesting article.

That what the only place that made me stumble, because “what happens next” doesn’t really make sense in that context.

  But mistakes like that are what makes it human! I really don't know anymore that we can have certainty about things being AI or human.

    Mistakes yes, but “this obviously makes no sense” less so.

I don't think you can get an LLM to write that personally. I tend to write with a bit too long run on sentences like that and have to edit myself carefully to make it readable. I don't think LLMs do that. It's like when my kids say "that's AI!" about everything now. We're overreacting and thinking everything bad about writing is because of LLMs, but in fact, I think LLMs write better than 99% of humans now. A year ago that wasn't the case, but we need to update our priors.
