Let me just tune up real quick

Tbf they meant relative to the Stuttgart pitch. Humans would also refer to an orchestra tuning to concert pitch “A440.”
I don’t think the AI meant anything.

“They” being the sources that the AI ingested to produce this output. AI is a word association machine, not a research tool. If people (“they”) call “tuning relative to A4=440Hz” “tune A to 440” AI will repeat it.

I’m just saying, while the OP is technically correct, one wouldn’t apply the same requirements on conversation with a human, which AI is built on.

LLMs mishmash from several sources. There isn’t a singular coherent “they”.
I understand, similar to “That’s what they say”, which is what I was idiomatically using “they” as in my original comment. I don’t really think it needs this much scrutiny.
