My first thought was that I'm not the target audience of this article. I'm a ML practitioner. This seems more like an overstated opinionated wake up call to mgmt and sales people. Is not it?

If you are an ML practitioner and you think you're not part of the target audience, then you're probably part of the target audience.

Agreed. What I called a straw man in the OP could also be characterized as a simplification to get his point across to lay-audiences. (Personally I dont agree with the simplification, per my other post). It's meant for popular audiences (as someone else points out, this is from a sci-fi magazine)
