It's an interesting read, though not very enlightening in terms of new information. It's same old pre-existing arguments put in a more informal, more directly honest package.

As another person who's seen robots fall over again and again and has a scope for the difficulty of the problem, I'd say there's also the risk of the day to day failures making us lose sight of the forest for the trees, with availability bias working against us.

It's a bit worrying that use of these terms has turned into a kind of slur, to lump a kind of imagined stunted-worldview with a medical diagnosis. Not particularly pissed that this guy used these, more worried about what it indicates - that these have become so common as to infiltrate friendly informal conversations from seemingly intelligent people.
