That's not gonna happen either. AI is good at doing things we can do only at a slower pace, but not at "discovering". Unless we know where to look for in the quest of eternal youth, nothing will help us. In fact, we would need to build an AI that is identical to a human brain or better in order to make it capable of doing this kind of job.

Toby posted tweets before that were obviously canon (such as, replying to someone that Undyne said "past Asgore", not "to Asgore"), which would imply a paradox, since in the tweet you showed, he's obviously saying that no tweets are canon. So where's the error? I think by that tweet, he was addressing the "joke" posts, so that people won't assume things. Since you hate paradoxes so much, you should accept this explanation. It only makes sense.

And the story booklet is a similar thing. The intro is already canon, so what does the fact that it was released as merchandise imply? Does it imply the intro isn't canon? No. Temmie worked on Undertale along with Toby, so why should her work not be canon? She obviously fixed Toby's work in the booklet, it wasn't non-canon, it was meant to show us something. Toby gave the monster a different looking trident and seemingly only one horn, and I firmly believe, that that was because of his sub-par artistic skills (he did need help with some sprites after all). So acknowledge that Temmie is also a part of the development team, not just Toby. And don't say that that's how Toby meant it to be. He did not. People make mistakes, and despite the amout of work he put into this, not everything is perfect about this game. The story, the mechanics and the sprites more or less are, but tiny details might have been overlooked.

And yes, this does imply that we should look outside the game for secrets. How about the art book for example? Are you saying the stuff written in it is not canon? Eg. Toby talking about how certain ideas of his evolved over time? And for the same reason I said that even though the Annoying Dog representing Toby is not canon confirmed, it is still an outside-established fact.

And it is said that the dog programmed the entire game. This is actually true, since Temmie did none of the actual programming :)
