After reading the article I still have no idea what that "oracle" is thus I cannot assess the "why" consulting it. Even the article doesn't go into much depth into the "why" rather into the "how".
I can't speak for anyone else, but this seems to describe how some tech folks use LLMs as sounding boards for their input and thinking things through that they understand, or are understanding and want to get through faster.
It's unfortunate that the names oracle and meta have been assigned to corporations. To appreciate how bad this is, imagine if these other words were used for corporate names: heuristic, estimator, polynomial, exponential, etc.
