To whom? I could read it as patronizing to Knuth, which I didn't intend it to be (but it could obviously be read that way). I absolutely love Knuth and his in depth books on algorithms, and his thorough understanding of the field of computer algorithms.
He is a key contributor to the entire field of computer science. He's unimpressed by AI, probably because he hasn't seen the utter decline of the Internet in the last 15 or so years. The rest of us, has to suffer through it.
Knuth goes on doing core research.
However, what I was trying to do was not patronize Knuth, but rather defend his decision and him being set in his ways. I don't believe what Knuth is doing is wrong at all. I believe the commenter I replied to is wrong on So Many Levels.
