Yeah the [Info] button says so. Quoting... Info About

Ask Paul Graham is a for-fun side project powered by OpenAI's GPT-3 and Paul Graham's essays. OpenAI capped costs at $360 per month which is currently being covered by the project maintainer so usage may get throttled depending on demand. Questions

The questions feature answers user-provided questions using Graham's essays as training data. Note that these are answers from GPT-3 and do not necessarily reflect Paul Graham's opinions. Summaries

The summaries feature provides GPT-3-generated summaries of Graham's essays and may not necessarily reflect his summary of the given essay. Not all essays have been included due to length constraints on GPT-3.

It seems like PG's twitter feed isn't part of the training data. I know nothing about ML or AI, but it seems like if you're trying to make a conversational AI bot, then the back-and-forth of twitter conversations could be even more useful than longform essays. But again, I know nothing about this stuff!
