It was a genuine comment. A commentary on the origin of intelligence, mixed with a common pun to add some wit.

I hoped readers would understand it.

That didn't happen.

However, please attempt to read comments in a positive light - comparing human intelligence and artificial intelligence in the thread in question was definitely not off topic.
