FYI, the day after you published this blog post, a spam blog posted... their AI reimplementation of it 🤦

details:

here is a snapshot of (maybe?) the "original" slop post borrowing from your title; i first saw it reposted on this slightly-more-credible-looking (at least if you haven't seen it in previous search results and already realized it is spam) page:

i tried to archive that page with the repost of it, to avoid directly linking to spam from this comment, but it crashes archive.org's browser:

i also was curious to see if this spam is in search engines, so i searched for AI reimplementation, and... well, the good news is that your blog post is the first hit and the above-linked spam blog is pretty far down in the results list.

The bad news is that the second hit is to yet another piece of slop/spam evidently also "inspired" by your post:
