It's sort of funny how can you immediately tell it's LLM sanitized/rewritten.

I feel like this article challenges my patience and attention too much, there is really no need to focus on the pros of upgrading here. We reader just want to know how they managed to upgrade at that large scale, challenges they faced and how the solved them. Not to mention any sane tech writers that value their time wouldn't write this much.
This is a big part of why the tech is so damn corrosive, even in well-meaning use, let alone its lopsided benefits for bad actors.
Even on the “small” and more-private side of life, it’s tempting to use it to e.g. spit out a polished narrative version of your bullet-point summary of your players’ last RPG session, but then do you go cut it back down to something reasonable? No, by that point it’s about as much work as just writing it yourself in the first place. So the somewhat-too-long version stands.
The result is that the temptation to generate writing that wasn’t even worth someone’s time to write—which used to act as a fairly effective filter, even if it could be overcome by money—is enormous. So less and less writing is worth the reader’s time.
As with free long distance calls, sometimes removing friction is mostly bad.
