I think maybe they were saying that their personal AI slop detector had produced a false positive on "whole personhood", and they felt sad about that? Or perhaps I'm missing it.

Correct. Perhaps I originally phrased it poorly?
I am annoyed at my slop detector firing at something completely benign.
It’s not just you. I reread it and it really struck me as odd too lol. I wrote it in bed after just having woken up maybe 5min earlier(note to self what does this say about my internet use habits?).
This does make me wonder if consuming AI writing will cause the style to be subconsciously picked up.
For me it did. I used dashes very often when writing prior to AI, and now I mostly replaced it with semicolon.
I am also actively avoiding the same construct you used (not X; Y). It is particularly annoying as I used this very frequently as a rhetorical tool.
And ultimately, I think this is sad. Communication is now less optimal as one has to evaluate if the other is just regurgitating AI. Ideas are important, but so are their shape.
