I think it saw A as the column header, assumed this was Hex, added everything up, and then converted back to Decimal and got 15, because off-by-one errors are unavoidable.
There was no thinking, “assumptions”, addition, or conversions. It saw numbers and generated another number that hit it’s “this should go next” filter first.
All good. It’s just something I see a lot of people say without sarcasm or irony a lot, and I think it’s a dangerous assumption to have about these algorithms. The personification of them has been the biggest boon to the over-hyped adoption and investment they received these past years, so I generally make a point to clarify when I see it, if only to better inform those who might not realize.
