*for most people on the internet.

For the rest of us, it's important to be able to look inside of a thing we're using and see that it's not going to fry our machine, or use it to mine crypto, or spy on us.

While I think that AI should be avoided (or at least very closely monitored) in open source projects, the author here is completely ignoring the fact that proprietary software is hitting the same pitfalls just as bad if not worse.
