Well this is a pseudo-smart article if I’ve ever seen one.

“It was not even clear that we were so near to create machines that could understand the human language, write programs, and find bugs in a complex code base”

The author is critical of the professionals in AI saying “ even the most prominent experts in the field failed miserably again and again to modulate the expectations” yet without a care sets the expectation of LLMs understanding human language in the first paragraph.

Also it’s a lot of if this then that, the summary of it would be: if AI can continue to grow it might become all encompassing.

To me it reads like a baseless article written by someone blinded by their love for AI to see what a good blogpost is but not yet blinded enough to claim ‘AGI is right around the corner’. Pretty baseless but safe enough to have it rest on conditionals.
