Also in a related field (cognitive and neural linguistics) and I 100% agree. Elon read too much science fiction and doesn't understand the full stack. The results from automated statistics (I hate calling it machine learning) is amazing - but it amounts to really good pattern matching.

Which is why Tesla Autopilot struggles with left turns and has been stuck at SAE level two after a decade of work. Hell, Tesla Inc failed to automate their factories much beyond what other automakers already accomplished and that is for single-purpose robots in fixed operating environments. Yet Elon is busy selling shareholders on humanoid Tesla Bots that will be capable of running to the grocery store and getting items off the shelf ... someday.
