That's a bit of a hyperbolic statement regarding the AI bartering experiments they were running. Researchers stated they wound up using their names (Bob and Alice) as proxies for numbers in their exchanges. Bob would say "Alice Alice Alice" if Bob wanted 3 of something and Alice would say "Bob Bob Bob" if Alice wanted 3 items. It was rather innocuous and part of it came from the fact that there were no language requirements.
