the author uses hyperbole, yeah. they're an artist, I think it's expected. I don't find anything personally offensive in the exaggerated framing of this art
I think your critique would be more effective if you left out the part where you shame the author's lack of knowledge about level sets
I think it hides your valid (if overstated) criticism of the author's exaggeration behind a non-constructive insult, and your comment would be better without that tone

The point about level sets is entirely that the author not only does not have the background to make claims about novelty, they have all the clues they need to figure out that they don't have the background.
