I don't think he's doing that at all. The article is pointing out to non-technical people how AI is different than traditional software. I'm not sure how you think it's giving AI a break, as it's pointing out that it is essentially impossible to reason about. And it's not at the expense of regular developers because it's showing how regular software development is different than this. It makes two buckets, and puts AI in one and non-AI in the other.
