Because it's an anonymous twitter account dedicated to scanning and identifying AI usage in published works?

By all means test it out with some non-AI content and report back

I guess you can pick between that and the propaganda provided by the AI peddlers, they surely have nothing to gain telling everybody what they want to hear
