I assume it means they are not sure it gives them a speed up. Which, since I don't know what they are trying to do, may be reasonable.

Much more complex than that. Even if it does give you a speedup at certain tasks, is it worth the cost and risks? You go faster, but now you have more code that you don't understand and so won't be as good at maintaining. There's the engergy use, the water use, the scrapers destroying the internet, the massive piles of slop, the hallucinations and bullshit, etc.
