Wild tale, but very annoying that he wrote it with an AI. It's horribly jarring to read.

How do you know?

I'm not trying to be recalcitrant, rather I am genuinly curious. The reason I ask is that no one talks like a LLM, but LLMs do talk like someone. LLMs learned to mimic human speech patterns, and some unlucky soul(s) out there have had their voice stolen. Earlier versions of LLMs of LLMs that more closely followed the pattern and structure of a wikipedia entry were mimicking a style that that was based of someone elses style and given some wiki users had prolific levels of contributions, much of their naturally generated text would register as highly likely to be "AI" via those bullshit ai detector tools.

So, given what we know of LLMs (transformers at least) at this stage it seems more likely to me that current speech patterns again are mimicry of someones style rather than an organically grown/developed thing that is personal to the LLM.

Looks like AI to me too. Em dashes (albeit nonstandard) and the ‘it’s not just x, it’s y’ ending phrases were everywhere. Harder to put into words but there’s a sense of grandiosity in the article too.

Not saying the article is bad, it seems pretty good. Just that there are indications

It's also strange to suggest readers use ChatGPT or Claude to analyze email headers.

Might as well say "You can tell by the way it is".

I don’t understand this comment. I’ve found AI a great tool for identifying red flags in scam emails and wanted to share that.

I agree with this, my experience is that a small light weight LLM is a fantastic spam filter.
