It is, then, merely a wonderful bonus that the essay is centered around Hofstadter critiquing an AI which is in turn pretending to be Hofstadter writing about GEB. There are at least two interwoven levels of self-reference here. Bravo!

'Any person who has language has the ability to understand the self-reflexive nature of language, and hence is, in her fluency, an expert in reflexivity. If we do not understand this, it is only because social and educational customs and prohibitions have placed blinders on our natural motion in thought and speech.' (Kauffman 2021)
