I searched for "Etan Wexler" on google groups and found other older messages, but they seem more normal, human written. But I can't quite decide whether this latest message is human art, or maybe ai art / an ai or a bot conversing.
What I find strange is the repetitions within the text, but that might be an "intentional" choice, whether human or AI. Interestingly Discourse is mistyped as Discursive, I didn't know that word as non-native speaker, it means to digress / "to wander from the subject" and the text seems to do that. So that could both be a human using irony or an AI seeing it as an prompt to do that. While the message reminds me of early videos I saw about GPT-2 and AI generated texts, within the context of the other messages I am not really sure. The earlier messages make me think, the text is written by a human that likes word puzzles and experimenting with different styles of expression, without leaving an explanation of what is actually meant. I guess we are reaching a point were we can't be sure anymore whether there is a human typing anymore. I also wonder whether all captchas are completely useless by now. At least videos like this make me think that is the case: OpenAI GPT-3 - Good At Almost Everything! š¤ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x9AwxfjxvE I guess we will have to wait and see, whether there will be other messages.
