The Hollow Men of Hims

The writing is hard to engage with—possibly trying to be funny, but it comes off as overly antagonistic. Phrases like “—presumably in a conference room with aggressively modern furniture—” feel distracting and undermine the point.

I had the opposite take, actually. I had to think about it for a sec and suddenly, “oh, right. Novo nordisk == Danish == Scandinavian design” cute.

This style of writing is a welcome change from all the AI slop or self promoting blogs out there.

It’s a personal touch without making it all about the author. Long form articles with some humor used to be all I wanted to read on the web.

I think it is potentially still AI prose, perhaps just well-edited or working from a good prompt. Aside from using quite a few em dashes and being relentless in shoving cleverness in, there's a link to Wikipedia with a `?utm_source=chatgpt.com` in there.

To be clear, whether or not it is AI prose is beside the point in my opinion. I think this piece is informative and funny but could be edited down significantly, regardless of how it was produced.
