Sure, but this doesn't sound like he was reached out to by the author of the article. It sounds like he came to the author and told him his story. However you want to view it, it's your prerogative, but it sets off my bullshit-ometer.

Blames the current anti-artist zeitgeist

Comes to blogger of a portfolio website to tell his story

It just feels like clickbait to me. Authory wanted to drive traffic and appeal to the current trend of the unemployed artist who blames AI for their woes, when really, they just aren't as good as they think they are. Even the title is atrocious. "AI DETECTORS ARE DESTROYING INNOCENT WRITERS' LIVELIHOODS, RAVAGING YOUR WIVES, AND BURNING THE COUNTRYSIDE." Dey terk uhr jerbs!
