Well, that's not what the article say. It clearly starts by saying marketing people make "AI companies" sound as they are solving the world but that's not "Real AI", it is "Just Machine Learning". Later on, the companies really doing "Real AI" are just Google, Facebook the the AI lab with the biggest marketing budget ever, al others "Are not AI, just ML".

So yeah, you can like this not-AI, work at a not-AI company, love ML and math, but your article continues to be "this all is not AI, only AGI is AI and only these handful of companies do it" (which they don't btw)
