Maybe he means that there doesn't exist real AI thing. AI can't read news and analyze it, think around it and make predictions according to articles. AI is a machine that can process data but in a different way, it can't think as a human and it isn't that kind of mechanism. There are a lot of hormones, including dopamine, serotonin and others that have a huge impact on our thoughts, attention, focus, cognitive abilities. AI is written by a human, we aren't that developed to be a new gods for artificial intelligences, we are far from it. That's why I agree with him too. In most cases, words like AI, Blockchain and others are just lure for people.

I've been studying ML for over a year now and your views are about as old. That's an eon in machine learning. I'll agree that many scammers are using those terms to lure people, but it's advanced a lot more than you believe.

Everyone heard of Alpha Go, that beat the best Go player in the world. But did you know just a few months later Alpha Zero taught itself the rules and beat Alpha Go 100 games to 0?

You may think you are an expert at a task because you've done it for 50 years at 2000 hours per year (100,000 hours). A ML AI, in comparison, could learn a million hours every recharge cycle as it updates its neural net with other ML machines doing similar tasks. It only takes one robot to identify a logistics flaw for that flaw to never happen ever again anywhere with any robot.

Dopamine, Serotonin, Adrenalin all serve to prioritize one pathway over another - for better or worse. An AI will improve on reflexes, since not all loud noises mean "jump away!".

Once we discovered how the brain stores and processes info, it became trivial to emulate it - even if we don't understand the higher concepts such as consciousness.
