Nanotechnology turned out to be completely different from what people like Drexler envisioned in the end of the 20th century. He [and many others] have learned that the idea of direct replacement is not viable. It seems that they are now thinking about AI as not a substitute for the human brain. Great!
BTW, what's AI nowadays? From what I know, the "AI" label covers a broad range of technologies that makes it almost meaningless in a discussion between intelligent beings.

It looks like they take the current development of industrial AI as a service and try to extrapolate the trend.
