    What's the tell, other than it butchering the context (bad writing)? The article as a whole doesn't seem horribly LLMy. The overall topic is pretty dry, and that sentence is honkin…

    But bro, X is all about freedom, protecting us from the woke tyrants who want to freeze our peaches! It seems brazen hypocrisy is now the norm for the hard right, and when you poin…
