You can make it lowercase and replace the em-dashes with hyphens, but we can still tell. That said, interesting article. I look forward to reading the PLDI when it comes out. Eliminating an O(n^2) in a primitive as important as regex is extremely valuable, so this is impressive work
This reads nothing like any AI text I've read before.
I'm of the opinion that their post is still human-written. They describe in their first blog post that it's human written (which could be a lie, but oh well) and their other blog posts seem to have the same informal lowercase hyphenated writing style. Sentance length varies throughout the posts. Sure, you could prompt this writing style, but I lean towards thinking that the piece is human written.
The fact that terms like Aho-Corasick, PLDI, Go, etc. are properly capitalized, including if they begin sentences, but otherwise sentences are uncapitalized, makes me think it's an explicit LLM instruction "don't capitalize the start of sentences" rather than writing style.
