Mark Fisher’s writing resembles Claude

Mythos apparently has a penchant for Mark Fisher. I was reading Mark Fisher’s blog and… his writing style has an uncanny resemblance to AI / Claude’s?! So I’m reading Mark Fisher’s blog and his writing style has an uncanny resemblance to AI / Claude’s.
I wonder if there’s something meaningful here.
Two quotes from the first Fisher blog post I read:
“There’s something so uncannily timely about The Hunger Games:
Catching Fire that it’s almost disturbing. In the UK over the past few weeks, there’s been a palpable sense that the dominant reality system is juddering, that things are starting to give. There’s an awakening from hedonic depressive slumber, and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is not merely in tune with that, it’s amplifying it. Explosion in the heart of the commodity? Yes, and fire causes more fire…
I over-use the word ‘delirium’, but watching Catching Fire last week was a genuinely delirious experience.”
“(And what has Collins achieved here if not an intersectional analysis and decoding of the way that class, gender, race and colonial power work together - not in the pious academic register of the Vampires’ Castle, but in the mythographic core of popular culture - functioning not as a delibidinizing demand for more thinking, more guilt,but as an inciting call to build new collectivities.)”
Triple “not x but y”, nested within an em dash!!!
