It is very important to know two things about that work.
1. It was for Sigbovik, which is a joke conference. The work was a fun side project by one dude.
2. Tom Murphy isn't an AI researcher, it wasn't intended to demonstrate the state of the art of the field, and it wasn't using modern techniques like neural networks.
It was a great story and I love Tom's work, but it shouldn't be used as a meaningful example of the limitations or worries regarding AI.
