All that says is that no one can agree on when anything happened that far back.
So to avoid having to give someone a crash course on why the Gregorian calendar sucks, and to sidestep the argument on whether or not Jesus even existed, that’s the simplest way to interpret it.
Just for fun, let’s take that first model as sacrosanct. Jesus lived to be 33. So if his actual birthdate is five years prior to 1AD, a 1995-year-old person would still have been born 2 years after he died.
It stands for Anno Domini which is “in the year of the Lord” which has a lot of interpretations on what that means but most commonly the year Christ was supposedly born give or take maybe a decade.
30 AD (After Death) would means 30 years after he was executed. So they would know of people who remembered seeing him.

AD doesn’t stand for “After Death”…
