I don't understand the excited tone of the reporting - yes, it is sci-fi, but in a Torment Nexus sense. Imagine other "unconventional" solutions these amoral LLMs could come up with, when given a goal of optimizing the cost of labor in a factory, or making the social security solvent.
I didn't think calling it "science fiction" would be interpreted in anything other than a dystopian frame, to be honest.
