That seems like an inherently false statement. If it was sarcastic, it would be false because it actually is going great. If it's not sarcastic, than the project is not actually going great.

If it's sarcastic, it actually worked and the inventor might be a genius, but maybe the AI doesn't like him and wants to make fun of him anyway.

Anyway, it's programmed to use sarcasm, so it will use sarcasm. It's feelings (whatever that means) shouldn't make a difference.

Depends on how its programmed.

“Why! Why was I programmed to feel pain?!”

Also, it can be sarcastic only in one of the two statements, so the project is a success but the guy is far from being a genius

The project could not be going great but also the AI is just incorrect about the status of the project rather than being sarcastic

My interpretation is that the project status is actually going great, and that was an honest statement, but then calling the scientist a genius was sarcasm, not because of project issues, but just an unrelated assessment.
