@nprofile1q... thb, "I appreciate the pushback" sounds like one of his sarcastic quips rather than AI. He's talking to a camera, not an audience, so he's saying that ironically because literally nobody is pushing back. It's inline with his usual demeaner and personality.
Of course, you can believe whatever you'd like. I just wanted to do some of my own debunking. I also thought maybe you'd prefer if someone wasn't using AI, which good news, I promise you he's not.
