LLMs absolutely do not have a logic detached from humanity. They are exactly the opposite. The only mode in which they can reason is by following the patterns obtained from their pre-training or weighted by RLHF.

The reason these models answered that question consistently is that the question itself pushed them towards the latent space of "intellectualizing about what's wrong with humanity at the meta level" and when you frame the question that way, that's also the most common answer for humans writing about the topic.
