I highly doubt the creators for the show are actually combining The Matrix and Blade Runner. It just seems the author is hallucinating nonsense.

The Matrix took inspiration from Neuromancer and I guess Blade Runner is the closest we have to a cyberpunk-vibe movie?

None of the text in this article are quotes by the creators, it’s just someone who clearly hasn’t read Neuromancer an asked an LLM to write the article and compare it to existing movies.
