Nameda knew the term "AI", but he'd never heard of RPA.

Why am I blushing at this age?
A cosplay model just got you to repeatedly imagine her stripping. Consider yourself lucky if it's just a blush...
Coding only has four building blocks: assigning names to numbers, using 'if' statements to make decisions based on conditions, repeating, and turning a series of actions - like taking off clothes - into a function. The rest are just tricks to make programs easier to write. You don't need to memorize them.
To summarise a discussion from when the manga covered this same declaration - this is the lies to children version of the basics of programming. (The analogy I provided over there is that she might as well have told him that English only contains Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives, and Adverbs, and so long as he knows that he can look the rest up himself as he goes.)
Personally, I still think that she's doing the thirty-year-old-jobseeker a disservice by giving him the kiddie lecture instead of an accurate idea of how difficult a path he's choosing to follow. shrug

"Do they think I'm some kind of pet that exists for their convenience?!"
Probably not - I guess it depends how creative you got with your 'cosplay' outfits...
But in all seriousness, no, they think you're a worker who works for money. That's why they're offering you money.
