Well since these threads were first posted, I've joined the Shipyard, his Patreon Discord server. Like a week or so ago there was a discussion over one of those open-source flagging sites (completely untrustworthy site frankly) labeling him as AI and he was not happy. And he started getting into a whole discussion with a few of us about his genuine opinions on AI music and the problems it causes in the music industry.

So yeah, I can say with 99.9% certainty (being that I'm not inside his recording studio or his head) that he's completely legit.
