I find it interesting that everyone is arguing about AGI-hard or AI-complete or whatever and trying to find where those boundaries are. Those are interesting problems for sure.
But that's not what he's talking about, it's not the point. The scary thing and the important point in the article is that most of the press and non-technical people are being sold the idea that nothing is AGI-hard or requires Human Intelligence, whatever that is.
Large swaths of press & so called "tech" people in business think all these hard problems are already solved. And they use this to seek investment or pump up companies in weird ways, only to later be mystified when the AI success doesn't appear to work like they thought.
It's like arguing about whether something is NP-complete or not when a bunch of businesses are taking lots of money from investors with a pitch that makes it sound like they have figured out a way to efficiently solve all problems that were previously thought to be NP-complete. But they've shown no evidence they can do so.
