As a first step, maybe it's worth just privately writing to the
offenders telling them what's been seen, giving them a chance to
improve and letting them know what they're doing isn't going
unnoticed.  If I was doing this and someone pointed out lots of silly
mistakes with something I'd published, I'd be very embarrassed and I'd
reconsider my blog writing approach.

It might also be worth considering if we want to have a policy on LLM
usage in https://www.postgresql.org/about/policies/planet-postgresql/
.  If we want to disallow blogs written by LLMs then we'd need to be
careful about how we define that as doing something like using an
LLM-based spell checker does not seem like it should be disallowed.
But to what degree exactly should that be allowed?
