I am old. This immediately triggered "Perl!?" in me... Joke aside: Programming languages and compilers are still being optimized until the assembly and execution match certain expectations. So prompts and whatever inputs to AI also will be optimized until some expectations are met. This includes looking at their output, obviously. So I think this is an overblown extrapolation like many we see these days.
