This was an ad / marketing piece for a company cleverly disguised as an article about AI. I'm usually against that stuff but if you skip the ad (at the end!) the author has made some good points about the AI hype, how we got there, and how we can fix it.

"In this way, Dynamic Yield is part of a generation of companies whose core technology, while extremely useful, is powered by artificial intelligence that is roughly as good as a 24-year-old analyst at Goldman Sachs with a big dataset and a few lines of Adderall. For the last few years, startups have shamelessly re-branded rudimentary machine-learning algorithms as the dawn of the singularity, aided by investors and analysts who have a vested interest in building up the hype. Welcome to the artificial intelligence bullshit-industrial complex."
