I would ask the same question if I were you. And I would be just as misguided to do so.

What matters is the content of the piece, not whether it was produced by a thousand monkeys banging on typewriters for a thousand years or whether it fell from the heavens or was written by me or you or some hack paid to write it for the New York Times.

I hope I would have posted such a well written article regardless of where it came from but it's quite possible that the same interest that you have about its authorship is why I posted it in the first place. I guess we'll never know.

I'm not skirting your question, the full thread is right here: perplexity.ai/search/yo…

I'm simply requesting that we not lose the forest for the trees, or in this case that we not lose sight of the fact that AI is being used for mass gaslighting due to our childish fascination with its abilities.

Again, this is not a criticism of your question I would have asked the exact same question because it is damn curious!

But getting this article out there is I think more important than wondering what order of words by me ended up producing it.
