Thats not a wrench, and I (not a car guy) highly doubt it can be used to remove lugnuts.

That is one of the shitty jacks that comes with your car, that barely work well enough to maybe not kill you during an emergency tire change.

I could absolutely see some company making a lift with a socket and marketing it as an emergency feature tbf.

I think that's not what's happening, if it is somehow it's definitely unsafe the way he's doing it, and also this is probably AI like all things too stupid to be true are these days.

I feel like removing the lugs before lifting the car has just a few safety implications though

Its normal to loosen the nuts a tiny bit before you jack up the car (when the ground prevents the tire from spinning while you apply the torque).
