Lance Ng, with all my respects, the headline of your article got my attention, particularly for what you stated as “The Facts Beneath the Hype”, so I read it all. Having said that, I have to add that for me it was VERY dissapointing that in the P.S. to your article you recognized “I’m not trained in AI both professionally and academically”
Then you continue and affirm: “…so that Medium can truly become a reliable source for quality content instead of the usual internet ‘fluff’…”

Well, IMHO, by writing what you wrote without being trained in AI both professionally and academically, you’re a good example of someone contributing to the usual internet “fluff”, at least in this topic about AI.
