Neither of us is strictly correct.

I misspoke, because ssh-keygen is not part of gpg, so the correct text
would be "You can use ssh-keygen to generate a new keypair, and do not
need gpg."

At the same time, gpg can interact with ssh, for example using
gpg-agent to keep track of ssh keys. It would be more correct for you
to say something like "you can use ssh with or without gpg".
