I like how he then proceeds to enumerate all the things which, if they weren’t doable, no one would really care.
Cardinal rule of drug dealing: never get high off your own stash.
Individuals don't care, but the corporate surveillance state cares a lot. Face recognition, voice recognition, and speech recognition alone are an Orwellian dream come true.
Cardinal rule of everything else: follow the money.
Cynicism aside, I tend to believe the OP's premise that these methods will contribute to a new and unrecognizable kind of software development (for better or worse).
It turns out that when you base your post on a ridiculous unsubstantiated premise, you can conclude anything.
