Not defending this article, but companies & big tech are generalizing the crap out of AI right now, and forcing it into everything.

They could have (and definitely should've) promoted the strengths and weaknesses of their models, specifically regarding what it can and can't do. But they don't. They get more money when their shareholders & customers think it's the next best thing for everything.
