I'm pretty sure it's nonsense

Maybe, maybe not. More research is needed.

Nevertheless, human studies investigating the effect of artificial sweeteners on hunger-satiety cycle, via SCFA, are currently lacking.

There are also artificial sweeteners that are toxic to dogs even in small quantities, but humans can eat them all day with no ill effects. And it's not about body mass either, because humans might be say 2x the body mass of a dog, but we can eat 10 times the quantity and be fine.

Saying that a particular compound has an effect in laboratory test animals isn't really anywhere close to saying that it might be the same in humans, there is plenty of precedents to be said that it probably won't work like that.
