I tried to look up what the author is actually developing with the help of AI but it seems like his primary output is hand-wavy articles breathlessly hyping up AI and urging programmers to use AI for everything.

In another article, he rewrites history by saying that developers were making fun of auto-complete, which never happened of course because it was a reliable addition to our set of tools.

So yeah, most of his blog is about cramming and hyping AI without giving any proof.

Makes no sense to use AI for everything. If you’re not dealing with a natural language processing problem, there’s better solutions. He’s a crank.

Your comment make sense only if you replace AI by LLM. The use of AI algo is usefull for many cases outside natural language processig problem and well before the "LLM revolution".

Regrettably it seems the term AI has been hijacked by LLMs. You must now be more specific when discussing AI: referring to classifiers, goal planning or decision making systems.
