It appears to be a copy of this article [1] from The Conversation (the original was published under a Creative Commons license, so I guess that's fine).
The Conversation is backed by a number of well-known universities and foundations [2], and the author seems to be a real professor [3].
Of course that doesn't mean it's not nonsense. But probably not generated by a language model.
