Hinton has been crucified many times in radiology circles for his statements. It honestly feels like we've beaten a dead horse on this. Clearly he was wrong and did not understand the complexity of the field. Although he was wrong, his statements today (through the advent of LLMs) are less insane than they were even 7 months ago and directionally he saw the progress of the technology. His magnitude/timeline was off and time will tell if he is one day proven right.
