AI-generated Overclock post imitates me fairly well

For a couple weeks, Overclock AI has been generating posts and images and emailing them for my review to share on LinkedIn, in an AI attempt to copy my prolific musings here.

But most of what the Overclock AI writes is simply too far off the mark for me to share here.

This one though, isn’t too bad of an imitation of how I tend to write.

The AI-generated text, tags, and image are copied & pasted below, with zero edits by me.

Energy Reality Check – AI Invoice Edition

Breaking: We’ve achieved Peak Market Discovery in electricity pricing.

PJM Interconnection just delivered their latest capacity auction results, and apparently the Settled Science Facts about supply and demand were… breaking news to everyone involved. Prices jumped from $28.92 to $329.17 per megawatt-day—a modest 1,038% increase that’s totally normal and not at all a sign that someone wasn’t paying attention.

The culprit? AI data centers, which have suddenly materialized across the grid like energy-hungry digital locusts, demanding power that nobody thought to plan for. Because apparently, when tech bros said they were going to “revolutionize everything,” grid operators thought they meant with efficiency, not by consuming electricity like it’s going out of style.

(stern glare at anyone who suggests this demand spike was predictable)

Here’s the Professional Factualness: When you retire reliable coal plants while simultaneously parking 63 gigawatts of renewable projects in an approval queue that moves slower than Continental Drift, you don’t get a “capacity market.” You get a capacity hostage situation.

Governors across PJM territory are calling it “a slap in the face,” which is adorable. This isn’t a slap—it’s the inevitable result of treating grid planning like a game of regulatory musical chairs where everyone’s too polite to mention that half the chairs are missing.

Meanwhile, consumers in New Jersey are seeing 17% rate increases while watching solar farms sit in bureaucratic purgatory for years. Nothing says “energy transition” like blocking the solutions while complaining about the problems.

The laws of physics remain stubbornly consistent about electricity needing to come from somewhere. But the laws of market planning, apparently, are more of a suggestion.

Science!
