Apart from the AI junk part… the notion that one should not offer a potential mechanistic explanation for an observation, without first spending years & (unavailable) $$ trying to test possibilities before sharing the observation with others (who may be better equipped to investigate the mechanism)…
Nature suggests you use their "Manuscript Adviser" bot to get advice before submitting
I uploaded the classic Watson & Crick paper about DNA structure, and the Adviser had this to say about one of the greatest paper endings of the century:

It's the same with computer code and other STEM areas. Who would have thought the demise of civilisation wouldn't be at the hands of an evil Terminator-style sentient AI, but the much more mundane laziness and carelessness of its early human operators.
