I've been following Bob Cringely for nearly 30 years and he's always written like this.
This is almost certainly not AI-generated text, and he's not saying Claude is wrong.
He's saying something different that is probably true (that LLMs can't produce facts, no matter how much they are trained). It is also not that interesting (LLMs hallucinating sometimes doesn't mean they're not useful).
I'll grant you the self-aggrandizement, but he's come by it honestly.

My favourite genre, incoherent Claude-generated slop about how Claude is wrong, with an appetizer of self-aggrandizement to boot.
