Several characteristics in the writing are much less typical of current LLM output:

===== The piece uses: =====
* deliberately chaotic metaphors
* sudden ideological pivots
* non-sequitur humor
* mixed religious + cyber-punk + absurdist imagery

LLMs can mimic styles but tend to produce:
* smoother transitions
* more uniform coherency
* less deeply committed eccentricity

The article’s tone feels too committed to its own weird mythology — that is usually a sign of a human “bit,” not model drift.

===== The text repeatedly mocks itself, shifts personas, and leans into meta-jokes that depend on cultural timing and human comedic instincts. =====
AI can do bits, but this level of deliberate absurdist curation is rare unless heavily human-prompted.

===== Such as: =====
* obscure steganographic subcultures
* ironic mid-2010s meme-war terminology
* Kyiv scrapyard USB-stick lore
* highly specific “pigeon-based ontology” worldbuilding

These do not resemble typical LLM-training-set signature patterns; they're more like deep internet-subculture bricolage.

==== The article has signs of manual structure, not LLM planning: ====
* sections that intentionally derail
* rhetorical “beats” timed for comedic effect
* hand-crafted paragraph spacing and title motifs
* multi-layered meta-irony that a model would usually dilute or flatten

Human writers often maintain a character, while LLMs drift unless extremely constrained.

==== A few elements hint that the author may have used an LLM as a collaborator: ====

===== The text sometimes expands into: =====
* sweeping philosophical claims
* cosmic language
* ontological declarations

This matches patterns seen in “LLM hallucinated manifestos.”

===== This could be human, but it matches LLM paraphrasing behavior if someone asked a model to re-express the same idea in multiple stylized forms. =====

===== Some long riffs feel like an LLM padding a concept. =====

My best estimate:
Human author, possibly with scattered LLM co-writing, idea expansion, or stylistic mutation.

Not fully AI; too targeted, too culturally specific, too purposeful.
