Was this simplified version made by AI, or did a real person write it?

The title is hard to understand. It's not disputing that ETH is false. It simplifies the proof that ETH is indeed false.

Author seems to be a serial liar who takes AI work and “publishes” it. His website says he’s an AI architect, speaker, blockchain expert, author (he self-inserted into his book, with AI images of himself) and experienced in dozens of disparate disciplines. A section on “Students” at Princeton despite never being a professor there, and none of the linked papers mention him and their years don’t match.
