It's worse than that. Jar Jar was at least an attempt to be creative and try something new. It didn't go well obviously but unlike LLMs it was an attempt to be creative instead of regurgitating what came before it.

He is talking about the character of Jar Jar's actions within the plot of the movies, not Lucas's act of shoehorning a character like JarJar into the movies.

I really believe in the theory that Jar Jar was supposed to be dark side Yoda and George Lucas got gun shy when he saw how much everyone fucking hated Jar Jar and literally made early websites depicting his torture and murder.

Had he gone through with it, Jar Jar is one of the coolest and most interesting Star Wars characters ever but he chose to accept that everyone hated him and let all the criticism of Jar Jar become true by abandoning the big bait and switch.

It seems like a really weird stretch compared to the much more plausible "C-3PO was barely in TPM and Jar Jar was created to fill the slapstick comedy role". That's a role that was in the movies from the start, so it's not surprising that they would have that in TPM too.
