The article asks a fair question. The comments here raise fair points. At the end though, all of this activity is nothing else than doing philosophy.

Because what else would it be?

The article is a critique of some aspects of contemporary philosophy. Like many others did before (greeks). It can't be a dismissal of doing philosophy itself. Because asking about the worth of philosophy is a philosophical question.

Usually if you make a point like this, you state the definition of philosophy and show that the very thing falls under the definition.

It could be reasoning, application of common sense, rhetorical play, use of large language models ftw, finding of a common opinion. And that is just a minute of brainstorming.
