Is this neural-network generated?

The bio makes me think that it is, in fact, written by a machine:

> Perhaps you'll think my comments are unthinkable. My only response to that is that they were legibly written, not by a machine, but by a writer with a soul.

I’ve seen quite a few machine like comments as of lately. They should nail auto complete and support chatbots first then try to fool people around here.
I don't think this was a machine. The Simpsons observations, the Zola reference, the epiphoric sentence rhythms... doesn't feel like it. He just seems to ignore Grice's third conversational maxim.
