Sorry, but... the definition of hack is a writer or journalist producing dull, unoriginal work. Given that Dupin says, " The writer is cursed, yada yada yada, the writer at the end apologises and says "You have freed me" ... But no, no originality or imagination. Go for the shallow ending like the uninspired hack you are." clearly implies that Dupin is using the phrasing correctly.
