For what it's worth, it seems like it's this "journalist" trying to make a sensational headline
The researchers themselves very clearly just tried to see if it could happen in our reality
"We decided to look at the probability of a given string of letters being typed by a finite number of monkeys within a finite time period consistent with estimates for the lifespan of our universe,"
Hypothesis: every science journalist should be placed in front of a bitch-slapping machine for the rest of their career. Every time they think about writing an article, they get bitch slapped. This will greatly improve the quality of science journalism.
