the piece seems too founded on symbolic representation and building a world model, but the vast amount of AI systems deployed don't use either of those, or only use a bit of 'knowledge'. His example with 'You should eat a banana' should be replaced with 'You went banana crazy'. This highlights the ambiguity that we may want to tell a machine, that any symbolic system would utterly fail at. He touched on machine-learning, but I think the most powerful systems in the future will be heavily built upon data driven algorithms will (and presently) be able to handle ambiguity and understand what this means.
