The author responded to claims that his tweets are AI-generated, finding the accusation hilarious. He noted his writing style had AI-like characteristics long before generative AI existed. He argues that what makes text nauseating is not the style itself, but the disconnect between punchy phrases and shallow substance. He suggests ignoring the "is it AI" question and focusing on whether content reveals depth upon rereading.
