This whole comment thread is happening because a person who is wrong and not really smart is writing about how AI is wrong and not really smart, and none of this would happen if the internet didn't empower cranks in general, and it's sad that I have to spell this out.
And no matter what the quality of the author's writing that in particular is a valid point and even if the rest of the article detracts from that point through its quality that doesn't mean that you should reject the whole thing out of hand, but rather that it pays off to sift through the mess to see what stands and what doesn't, a bit like that HN appeal to use the principle of charity.
And if you do decide to reject an article out of hand then you might as well not comment on it. Because then effectively you too are guilty of what the author rails against.
