The writer implies that current AI is not more exciting or capable than say Siri or Alexa. I think this is a flaw in his reasoning. AI is changing the world and it is very normal that there's a lot of talk about it in technical circles. I'm even amazed that non technical people speak so little about it (other than, statements like "The algo's were yesterday listening to what I said again via my phone, since my daughter got presented an ad targeting something we were reasoning about").
