4. de Weck doesn't know enough to know how much he doesn't know

He thinks AI "produces knowledge" and "We don’t really know how AI reaches its conclusions."

AI is not thinking. There used to be these county fair and carnival exhibits where you could play Tic-Tac-Toe against a chicken and you would lose. de Weck would likely surrender the future of Tic-Tac-Toe and declare that chickens have attained "knowledge" of the game that surpasses human understanding. He could declare the chicken "our King, etc"

Journalists and opinion piece writers should have a better grasp on a subject than de Weck shows.
