I like this theory too. Have the researches done an exhaustive search of highly scoring forum posts/reddit comments on that topic where one/a few might more or less give this exact answer? It's a basic mashup of nihilism and tribalism. Could AI synthesize this on its own? Yes. But did this sentiment get spammed throughout the 2010s even until today, meaning one or a couple humans could have come up with this answer and gained online approval for it? Absolutely, yes.
