I’ve known this guy for almost forty years. He’s so smart in so many ways–except this. What do I say, “Hey, buddy, I just can’t take you seriously anymore. This AI thing is too much.”? 
I will be sending him a link to this article, though.

Yeah, is there anything in the paper that addresses this?
Yes. Especially, 4.7. Results from the Interviews. (Sorry about my quoting style and the multiple posts–still trying to get used to this forum’s functions. I’ll figure it out soon.).
