I was surprised by the Dijkstra quote on that page:

"The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim."

Here is an interesting discussion/context of this quote: https://www.reddit.com/r/philosophy/comments/ak4sn/the_quest...

I think we can conclude that this quote is not at all against the developments of AI or ML at that time or now.
