Mentally autocorrected the title to "paypal cipher" and got enticed to click...

More seriously, this looks like the context modeling that advanced compression algorithms do, but in reverse.

Recovering the key does not settle the text.

That said, the Claudish in this article is only slightly annoying.

Definitely, although a bit less annoying to read than the usual level of Claudish, so it was either edited or the AI is improving.
