Is this an AI bot writing about why AI cannot exist like some new kind of AI performance art? What are we looking at here?

It read to me like a book review written by a person.

What do you see as the bot tells? I didn't spot the usual obvious things, and by the time I got to the end I wasn't feeling vaguely suspicious. (But, if this is actually AI-written, and possibly quite transparently so, then I've clearly missed something, and I'd quite like to know what!)

Rationalists don't need pesky things like data or evidence to assert their desired conclusions as fact. Don't you know, you can assert your vibes as science, now.
