Just because he worked there doesn't mean he knows wtf he is talking about he was literally fired by Google months ago: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-62275326

Their ai isn't using anything that isn't known already. The concept of how these ai work isn't different between them. The only difference is they have a lot more data to train it. So it gets a more sophisticated answer... but the underlying math and algorithms are the same. For which you can learn about if you go into computer science and specialise in ai. It's not a mysterious black box that people believe it to be.

The guy doesn't know what hes talking, he literally left his job and people at google dismissed his claims as widely incorrect. His title was a software engineer, sounds to me like he didn't actually write the algorithms, but more likely tested and quality controlled it. So he has little knowledge of how the ai worked. It managed to convince him however due to his ignorance of ai.

The ai we have today is nothing close to actual intelligence and isn't anything like hollywood movies. When you actually understand how ai works its actually less impressive. The impressive part is the results you get when you give it high quality large volume of training data which google/microsoft/open ai have been able to afford to do. It takes a lot of painstaking effort to train ai with a lot of humans to rate responses to teach the ai the kind've answers we expect.
