I know it's a bit ridiculous to see that as some kind of conspiracy, but I have seen a very long list of AI-related projects that got the same name as a famous open-source project, as if they wanted to hijack the popularity of those projects, and Dia is yet another example. It was relatively famous a few years ago and you cannot have forgotten it if you used Linux for more than a few weeks. It's almost done on purpose.

The generous interpretation is that the AI hype people just didn’t know about those other projects, i.e. that they are neither open source developers, nor users.
