I read their comment more as a nod to The Last Question than speaking about the recent "AI" in the news.

Yes, it was more along the lines of The Last Question, wasn't even thinking about LLM.


Then they should've made an explicit reference. As is, I don't see any indication that they're even aware that The Last Question exists and it sounds like every other LLM fanatic.


The term AI has been around a heckuva lot longer than the current LLM hype. It's not unreasonable to make that assumption, to link it along the lines of what AI really means vs how the term has been used as of late.
