I suspect the revulsion is that he did not write a full blog post, the time and effort was not consumed, instead there was an engine that did it for him. At which point interest drops significantly.

I too suffer from lack of interest in machine written posts. but the real sociological problem is because it is hard to tell the difference, disinterest turns into paranoia. And this hurts everyone.

However in this case, the article in question does not read like machine written, so perhaps the revulsion was just over the hyperbolic tone.
