Is that what the weird extra width on some letters is, artifacts from some AI generating the post?

No, the phrasing makes it clear someone wrote a fictional account of becoming self aware that the output of vibe coding isn't maintainable as it scales.

I'm entirely too trusting and would like to know what about the phrasing tips you off that it's fictional. Back on Reddit I remember so many claims about posts being fake and I was never able to tease out what distinguished the "omg fake! r/thathappened" posts from the ones that weren't accused of that, and I feel this is a skill I should be able to have on some level. Although taking an amusing post that wasn't real as real doesn't always have bad consequences.

But I mostly asked because I'm curious about the weird extra width on letters.

r/thatHappened was the worst thing to happen to Reddit and I sincerely hate whoever created that sub
