Smart CS students in the 1960s and professional AI engineers with Ph.D level education (as I believe he has) in 2022 are a world apart.

And now you have empirical evidence that a Ph.D education just means someone stayed in school entirely too long.

While we have become over-credentialed nowadays, I wouldn't say a smart CS student from the 1960s is worlds above a current day person with a PhD level education. We're at least in the same ballpark as the bright olden days bachelors degree holders.
