I do nto agree with the opinion, but he accidentally stumbles onto a hard truth: the enthusiasm about AI is truly the same nonsense that led charlatans to offer to be able to changed lead to gold, without really explaining all o this is supposed to work. Another aspect, is that they add math to it so it appears to be science.

You get its best guess, based on your question and the AI's current algorithm and data at that time. Change any of it; get different results. That's it. As long as everyone understands that, it's fine. Many people don't seem to get that, and so many people are easily fooled and eventually harmed.
