To me it seems that the author is focusing too much on the ability of the recent crop of "AIs" to generate interesting creative content -- poems, essays, images, etc, and forgetting (or hasn't recognized) how good something like GPT4 is at formulating a _correct_ answer to a given problem. This is also an attitude I've seen among non-technical friends; I think there's a bit of a divide at the moment between people who've seen it perform like a human on technical challenges vs people who've just asked it to write song lyrics or create interesting images.
