TL;DR: the focus on the implementation details, and descriptions like this, are detrimental, even perilous,

because such accounts are both accurate, and deeply misleading.

This is description, but it is neither predictive, nor explanatory.

It implies a false model, rather than providing one.

Evergreen:

Ximm's Law: every critique of AI assumes to some degree that contemporary implementations will not, or cannot, be improved upon. Lemma: any statement about AI which uses the word "never" to preclude some feature from future realization is false.
