That's not how I read it. I would say that it's more like "If a human no longer needs to read the code, is it important for it to be readable?"

That is, of course, based on the premise that AI is now capable of both generating and maintaining software projects of this size.

Oh, and it begs another question: are human-readable and AI-readable the same thing? If they're not, it very well could make sense to instruct the model to generate code that prioritizes what matters to LLMs over what matters to humans.
