Their hypothesis is that civilisations can only advance to the point where they develop AI. They're a little unclear why, exactly, that would stop ALL civilisations. I mean, I could easily see why it might stop a violent crazy warlike species such as us. But there's no strong reason to assume that all advanced civilisations have such a self-destructive streak as we do.
Still this is a new form of doomerism I haven't seen before.
