I suppose in the AI era, we need to assume AI. For me, I feel like 'attempted Pratchettisms' might well be the result of a human writing. It's hard to be as good as Pratchett but understandable to write a post like this trying to be.
That is, with ambiguity, I try to assume the best. I expect that is somewhat naïve.
I genuinely read (and still do) the blog as a human voice. I don't think writing about AI is enough to assume that a blog is authored by AI.

- onraglanroad 5mo agoI like that line. The kind of cheap floozy paper that suggests something bad has been written on it, even when it's perfectly innocent.
- npinsker 5mo agoThat’s not looking “guilty” though. Paper cannot be guilty, only humans.
- vintagedave 5mo agoOf course it can. That's writing.
- scubbo 5mo agoThere are plenty of valid criticisms of the article, but this isn't one of them. I'd be embarrassed to call myself a fan of Pratchett while failing to recognize dramatic anthropomorphization (indeed, Pratchett was where teenaged-me first learned the word)
