It's an interesting measure of how fast these things change that when Manifesto was released in 2021, people recognised that G. Stoner Hilcot is a pseudonym and an anagram of, and homage to, the late Gil Scott Heron. But no-one suggested that it was an AI model.
Four years on, with the recent release of Superhero, the default assumption seems to be that it's an AI creation.
So, to set that record straight, I can confirm now that G. Stoner Hilcot is a real person. That's not his real name obviously, but he's a real person. Who just happens to be able to do a pretty mean impression of the original GSH.
Some people have asked for a bit more detail about him, but he's chosen to remain anonymous so obviously I'm not going to betray that. But he is real. He feels, he breathes. And he gets pissed off by what he sees around us.
He just does it in a very particular style.
