Mostly about the claim and not the (purported?) author.

This is a Lean-verified variation of the OpenAI proof for pi.

Is this actually true or fraudulent? I couldn't tell.

I'm pretty sure it's a joke–although I myself was uncertain at first.

I want to be respectful of other people's privacy, but it isn't hard to find the author's Facebook/LinkedIn/etc, at which point their non-identity with the famous novelist becomes obvious.
