From the article:

Let me save you some time. If you’ve been lurking the mesh forums lately you already know there are two camps and they don’t like each other much. Post “thinking about trying MeshCore” anywhere Meshtastic people hang out and you get a mix of “why bother, it’s not even mature” and a few quiet replies saying “do it, you won’t go back.” Both reactions are right, which is exactly why most comparisons out there are useless to you.

Most of them slap together a table, crown a winner, and call it a day. That’s not how this works once you’ve actually got the hardware on your bench.

    And the AI part specifically bothers me, more than the trademark even. Not because AI-assisted code is automatically bad, it isn’t. It bothers me because it was undisclosed,

    Says the person who wrote the entire article with an LLM and didn’t disclose it… smdh.

      I read it uncritically and did not pick that up but yeah, now you mention it (and reading the “about us” on that website), it seems probable. Is there something specific that makes you think that though?

        There’s a bunch, the one main thing people don’t seem to think about is that all online writing by LLMs sounds exactly the same, so all these individual voices have merged into one and that’s really noticeable. But other giveaways are uses of specific words multiple times that humans don’t really use that often.

      Some parts of it feel like they used speech to text and didn’t bother to edit it. Also,that they were just speaking off the cuff.

      There are plenty of spots where there should be conjunctions or even connecting clauses. Instead, just awkward commas.

        The thing is, if I reveal all the little things, then the author just goes in and changes them. But if you read enough articles online you’ll start to notice how literally everyone’s individual voices started to all sound exactly the same. Down to the exact same weird choices of specific words. Try looking for words like real and genuinely.
