This is hilarious but the answers sound nothing like Harold Bloom.

Not wrong, though some answers are better than others

This can be our Turing Test for AI...

Can you share how you got chatGPT to answer questions as Bloom? Or did you edit the answers to make them first person?

Na just ask it to respond in that way. Ahead of most questions I asked it to "respond as if you are Harold Bloom and in the style of Harold Bloom" or to that effect

Amazing. Not to double the length of this piece, but it would be interesting to pick a different critic -- Paglia, say, or a postmodernist-- and see how different the answers were.
