I mean, ask pretty much anyone familiar with the workings of AI who doesn’t have a vested interest, and they’ll say the same thing. Goldman is right.
I’d also say that it does have applications, but it’s going to take a moment for all the bullshit artists to move on to the next thing so the grown-ups can work. It’s a bit like graphene research circa-2011, although it’s way more proven than graphene ever was.
They might also say that the moment it does work reliably we should be scared, although it’s fair to say there’s many experts who take the obvious stance.
