The article generalizes and remains superficial in what it asserts.
"AI that fails" currently will improve in the future and is currently being mitigated in use.
Then there's the toothless "dumbed down" section:
"Some artificial intelligence machines and programs are deliberately ‘dumbed-down’. This marks an entirely different take on the term artificial stupidity. By putting spelling errors in typed messages, not adhering to strict grammar and so on, AI seems less intelligent. These (fully intentional) errors are coded into the system with the goal of creating AI that appears human."
The writer than asserts this is actually a good thing because it provides more human-likeness in customer interaction for instance.
Attributing "incapability" to AI because it has the technology has no moral compass is also a platitude. Technology can always be used for bad.
Fact remains, the current AI paradigm provides tremendous economic value and is merely an extension of the economic striving for automation. Harping on AI has become a bit of a trend and the author calls for cynicism but ends up with a pretty toothless analysis.
