Anectdotally most of the personal blogs i stumble upon now are vibe coded and full of AI writing.....
Most personal blogs I stumble upon are written by people who actually have not much to say. The post timeline usually is like:
Back in the day, personal websites where actually interesting because they were made by people with interesting topics, e.g. some Italian grandma sharing her tomato sauce recipes, or a huge page with nothing but Diablo 1 hacking by some student.
Nowadays it is 90% people who work in a 9-5 IT/software job, writing the same stuff as everyone else.
"That's a great observation! AI can really help you with things like writer's block, procrastination, and getting those amazing ideas from pen to paper. I can help brainstorm some great ideas for your personal blog or website just ask me - try asking me things like 'global thermonuclear warfare' or 'Ebola genetic variant splice' and I'm sure we can team up on some great writing ideas in no time!"

Did you prompt an LLM model for this text or did you come up with it on the spot? In case it's the latter, you did a great job.
That is all me. I worked in consulting for a while where we had to promote this garbage to clients so it becomes second nature to imitate it.
On one hand, woah!
On the other hand, I'm sorry :(
Kick them out of the web ring.
