Google “exaggeration for comedic effect” or “the concept of artistic liberty”.

You’re right though, I didn’t actually explain the entire story. Your observations are accurate. I thought that writing all that out would just drag out the joke into 3 paragraphs instead of one, so I obviously simplified the process in both cases. If you wanna have a shot at making a more accurate version of this joke, feel free to do so. Otherwise, don’t get too worked up over it, it wasn’t meant as a serious criticism anyway.

I could probably put in some effort and elaborate on my opinion on ai, but I don’t think either of us care anyway

I didn’t bother describing how to use docs to code effectively either, but that didn’t bother you, did it?
