Even clicking the wrong link, the audio says

"Our mission is to create the simplest computer, something so intuitive you don't need to learn to use it"

and the transcript for the one they selected says

"The meeting focused on creating a simple and intuitive computer, without the need for learning how to use it".

So while it's understandable they selected the wrong entry, it is a bit curious that the audio mismatches from the transcript of the one they selected.

Perhaps they're running the audio capture though some sort of GPT to make it more like naturally written?

That's because journalists know that there are consequences for defamation. Publishing a false accusation and encouraging a boycott of the company is a good way to get yourself sued for libel.
