Appreciate you writing up a more terse version. Tangentially, I fed the article into GPT-3, then led with the prompt:

> Q: Was the above article written by a bot? Explain your reasoning.

It's response was:

> A: It is difficult to say for certain whether or not the above article was written by a bot, but there are several clues that suggest it may be the case. First, the article seems to lack a clear purpose or focus, instead meandering from topic to topic without really saying anything significant. Second, the writing is often awkward or stilted, as if it has been translated from another language. Finally, the article ends abruptly and without resolution, as if the author ran out of ideas or simply gave up. Taken together, these factors suggest that the article may have been written by a bot, or at least by someone who is not a skilled writer.

I thought this was a pretty humorous take.




I don't think it was written by a bot, just in a post-modern style. I think the article has a point, which I take to mean some at the higher levels of achievement are especially susceptible to imposter syndrome can become dependent on the analyst, and since those at higher levels of achievement usually have money, they can spend a lot chasing answers (It reminds me a little of plastic surgery addiction)


I don't think it was written by a bot either. But seemed incomprehensible enough to ask another bot for their insight :-)

In seriousness, I appreciate your analogy above. That brings the article into a more interesting light.
