It's written in the frame of "I used to be a huge believer of not X, but now I learned X is true! And that gives me credibility!". No one talks like this except people trying to manipulate you.

To be fair they claim to be a marketing writer so that would check out with their story...

I feel like that only happens when X is a thing they're trying to promote, such as "I used to be a liberal but now they're too woke, so now I'm voting Trump." But for this, there's no upside. They aren't promoting anything. In fact, they're withdrawing their promotion of something with no alternative. I guess I just don't get your point. I think a lot of people believe humans are superior (currently, they are!), and genuinely are going to be blindsided by the fact that creativity isn't a uniquely human trait.

>No one talks like this except people trying to manipulate you. The post is written by a person who gets paid (or at least used to get paid) to write marketing copy. The author is by definition a professional writer of marketing copy. Of course it sounds like professionally written text designed to impact the opinion of the reader - it is professionally written text designed to impact the opinion of the reader. That doesn't make it a lie. The form of the message is exactly what you would expect a truthful message from such an individual to look like. Given all that is happening with the capabilities and adoption of GPT, and comparing the low economic value of karma and likes to the high likelihood of individuals like the one described being impacted in this way, my personal view is it's far more likely to be truthful than some grand conspiracy of falsehoods.
