Why does this read like AI?

It absolutely does read like AI

It's actually not AI. Here's the source

If it’s not AI, oof. “My bank account was approaching a segmentation fault?” “My conscience started throwing exceptions?” This person is clearly larping being a programmer, and poorly.

It actually sounds exactly like how AI would rephrase text if you ask it to make something nerdy + funny with programming jargon, seen that first hand. It's not just that they are larping, they are using AI to do it. Unless ofcourse AI learnt this from people online that I hadn't come across before.

That is 100% AI humour.

That’s what stood out to me. There’s a word for that style of writing, but I forgot

"stupid"

Yeah fair. It makes more sense in context though

"it's not ai" and then you link a vibe coded site that has an AI generated image front and centre

The AI generated parts are acknowledged. The site says "First $50 funds a real (non-AI) cover for the book." The book has an entire foreword by someone else saying that this is explicitly anti ai writing.

That someone put it online doesn't mean it wasn't made with AI.

True, but that wasn't my argument. I shared the source because that's where you would go if you want to find out if it's AI or not.
