Artificial Gibberish
Presumably this article was generated by so-called AI:

Unless there's another Quentin S. Crisp about which this is accurate (looking at the other articles at the same website, I doubt this), it is all false. Notice there are no publications listed. I did not study at Oxford. I am not influenced by Foucault, Wittgenstein or Heidegger. Etc. The text has that platitudinous vagueness that belongs to all bluffers and that is now on the increase among human writers, too, aspiring as many now do to complete automatism.
I have studied philosophy, incidentally, and I am not, as the article suggests, a moral relativist.
One wonders if Marcos Mariano, apparently the 'author' of in excess of 3,000 articles, is a real person.
I am reminded of this little GIF:

If anyone is curious to know my views on AI they can start by reading the entry for the 13th of June in The Flowering Hedgerow. I will briefly add here that the Turing Test is based on a sleight-of-hand fallacy. In the paper in which Turing first proposed the test, he began with the question how we can know whether a machine can think and discarded this question to answer, instead, how we can fool people into thinking that a machine thinks. Since then, people have been duped into believing that the two things are the same, a delusion that is hollowing out our society.
I will also add that John Searle's distinction between observer-relative and observer-independent intelligence is helpful here.
