That’s the case for all predictions on the future of AI. They are all just opinions, some more informed than others. The author does clearly cite some of the things that are informing their opinion in this case, so I’m not sure what your problem is there. I’m also not sure why you put article in quotation marks; this is clearly an article. Your comment seems like a lazy attempt to discredit the piece and shutdown discussion without bothering to respond to any of your real problems with it.
