I think their point is that we want real AI in games. LLMs are not AI in the traditional sense. They are really advanced predictive text. They might someday be a part of an AI but they are not remotely intelligent. They just have the superficial appearance of intelligence because they guess at words in away that mimics human language.

All of this focus and money on LLMs is probably hurting research into actually useful AI.
