I think the author provides an interesting perspective to the AI hype, however, I think he is really downplaying the effectiveness of what you can do with the current models we have.

If you've been using LLMs effectively to build agents or AI-driven workflows you understand the true power of what these models can do. So in some ways the author is being a little selective with his confirmation bias.

I promise you that if you do your due diligence in exploring the horizon of what LLMs can do you will understand what I'm saying. If ya'll want a more detailed post I can get into the AI systems I have been building. Don't sleep on AI.
