This was suggested in another repost of this article. It does really have that vibe, yes. It’s giving off this uncanny valley feeling of journalism. Lots of words, that… kinda say something?, but there’s a lot of like, overlap? I’m having a hard time explaining it.
Comment on Mario Kart World Faces Massive Backlash After Update, Online Racing Experience Ruined

Is this article written by AI? Some of the longest running, poorly phrased sentences here.

Definitely pumping up the word count. The paragraph used to come around to the fact that Metacritic (not steam) is the site where SMKW is being review bombed gave me visceral feelings of anger.

Now, the fans has taken over on Metacritic by starting a review bomb, the user score of Mario Kart World has dropped from 8.3 to 7.7 in just a few days and that is definitely big. We can see tons of negative reviews, and it truly looks like the players aren’t happy at all.
The message is clear, the new update has ruined the entire online gaming experience. We saw many reviews using the word “ruined” which clearly shows how upset these fans are.
Is it possible that this is ESL instead of LLM? Or maybe a mix of both? I’m getting way more ESL vibes from the first paragraph, but the generally meandering nature of the piece does point to an LLM too.

I think ESL could be a factor. Definitely LLMs have better English prose than this. I’m so used to seeing long running AI slop articles answering basic questions in 1000 words (rather than 10) and this reads similar.

Haha, that also came to mind, it’s pretty poor. Paraphrassing: "Users on Metacritic saying it “ruined” the online mode - an indicator that they are very displeased. "
You don’t say? 😄
