But it does say that some sort of text processing AI system is being used right now to decide who to kill, it is therefore quite hard to argue that LLMs specifically could never be used for it.

It is rather implausible to say that an LLM will never be used for this application, because in the current hype environment the only reason the LLM is not deployed to production is that someone actually tried to use it first.

I guess he must have hallucinated that it was about LLMs
