This paragraph doesn’t make sense as it’s written.

It makes sense in a "did they record this out loud and have it typed out?" kind of way. But I would tend to agree.

Telling someone they look "so good they could be ai" is IMO, a deliberate way to break someone down psychologically. It deliberately sends the message that you are replaceable. Not just replaceable, but mass-replaceable.
It's sort of like how coomery men tell women they look good enough to have an onlyfans.

Telling someone they look like AI is just a straight up insult rather than a compliment.

Every single ANN article with bizarre unnatural phrasing is written by the author of this article, Ken Iikura-Gross. I read something that sounds strange and check the author and it's 100% them without fail. There's no way to phrase that politely, without sounding like I'm insulting an author, but like, it's still true.

It's just the run-on commas. Like, it parses to me semantically and grammatically, but it's not really the kind of sentence you could get away with in a paper. I think saying it reads like AI is a little harsh though, I'm sure we've both seen some *actually* garbled shit out there.

I certainly haven't seen it used positively, but I could see it turning into some sort of backwards sounding compliment like, "This is so good that I can't believe it."

that's not really a compliment, because by setting AI up as the benchmark for success/quality, you're making success/quality literally unobtainable because a human being can never be an AI.

Disagree. It means that such fans are trying to give compliments but:
* AI means vastly different things to its fans vs detractors
* people often get nervous and say stupid things at signings
* given the venue, they were probably socially awkward to begin with
Anyone who thinks that's a compliment does need to get away from the computer and touch grass. Even so, no harm was intended. I think we've probably all gotten compliments that irritated rather than pleased us. IMO it's best just to take them in the spirit offered.

....What?!
Am I crazy, or am I the only the sees it as a harmless compliment? It's kinda like when people say "it's as if you're photoshopped" or something along that line, simply suggesting that you look "flawless". Granted, I'm not saying those compliments are great and almost at the same level as the onlyfans one, but never once have I heard it being interpreted by the person giving the compliment or the recipient as "being replaceable".

To be fair, and this could totally just be me, but I wouldn't associate "photoshopped" with "flawless", either. "Photoshopped" is the purest reflection of being fake, because it means that nothing about it looks real, which would match with the idea of being told that something "looks like AI", i.e. it's not natural.
