Not correct for the Dutch state news, at least. They make the same "reconstruction" claims while showing the audio fragments that don't use any input data (for 1 and 29 patients), while mentioning that it's not very accurate but at any rate still recognizable. https://nos.nl/artikel/2486771-computer-herkent-pink-floyd-n...
Based on earlier neural decoding news items I was also expecting something completely overblown, but in this case I think the reporting is quite legit, and you might just be having a knee-jerk contrarian reaction.
