Look at his comments here.

Safe to say there's a cognitive block and until he tries to approach this topic in good faith he'll simply never understand. Lol.

It's so beyond tiresome. It's a classic case of someone being technically correct, and abusing the gap between that, and what people actually gather from it, for sentiment manipulation (willfully or otherwise). And I have a pretty hard time believing at this point that it's the otherwise.

I really don't know what's so interesting about auto-complete or next token prediction that it captures these people's attention so much. They're so blatantly not the salient quality to these products that is of interest to the common discourse, it's just baffling.
