The best scientific theory is the sexiest one, so yes.

Then why are all those cephalopods so closely related to all the other non-cephalopod molluscs?

The fact that there are very few fossils of soft bodied creatures kinda misses the point.

All the evolutionary diversity of molluscs is still alive. Squids, nautiluses, cuttlefish, snails slugs.

What’s the hypothesis here? An alien meteorite landed with 800 types of cephalopod, that just by chance share 97% of their DNA with slugs and snails that already existed on Earth?

Anyone who gives a LLM that level of access deserves what they get, but clearly the AI comments he posted have been prompted to sound like a confession.
