Same thing with making wildly optimistic claims about "obsoleting human radiologists in five years", made more than five years ago by another AI bigwig Geoffrey Hinton. They are doubtless brilliant researchers in their field, but they seem to view AI as a sort of cheat code to skip the stage where you actually have to understand the first thing about the problem domain to which it is applied, before getting to the "predictions about where the field is going".

Very similar to crypto evangelists boldly proclaiming the world of finance as obsolete. Rumours of you understanding how the financial system works were greatly exaggerated, my dudes.
