I wonder which LLM model has the tic of saying individual words in their own sentence for emphasis.

The outcome of this technique is the same as just bolding all the text.

I understand why the author, an apparent native Dutch speaker, has an LLM write his prose.

The actual content is information-lite; the author never explains anything beyond deciding to no longer consider google.com referrers when deriving success metrics. Maybe the author got more engagement through email? More business offers? It's left as a mystery to the reader.

This article was definitely written by ChatGPT. I think it's a story anyone who's ever shipped a website that they expected the public to make use of has experienced, but it's also light on the details of how they moved past Google organic search traffic.

AI Slop aside. If you’re sole funnel is just Google, you are basically praying for your business to launch.
