He goes off on a tangent on the theory of the mind and saying that a computer might think a cloud is a truck. In order to get an AI to think a cloud is a truck, you'd have to somehow reinforce the negative numerous times, essentially brain-wash the AI into thinking a cloud was a truck. Guess what else can be brain washed? The author holds humans in far too high of regard here. Clearly given the number of accidents and road deaths a year, humans aren't very good at intuiting others' actions.
