Something is true whether or not you doubt it, you then confirm your doubt as true or prove it false.
Commonly the phrase sowing doubt is used to say an argument someone has made is false, but that was evidently not what the parent poster meant, although it was what the comment I replied to probably interpreted it as.
on edit: I believe what the parent poster meant is that whether or not OpenAI/Altman believes the doubts expressed, they are pretty much constrained to cast some doubt as they do whatever else they are planning to deal with the situation. From outside we can't know if they believe it or not.
