I see artificial intelligence as the right wing republicans. They use artificial facts and stories while believing what they say.

This sounds very much in the vein of the book I'm currently reading, Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hofstadter. The book is a bit dated, 1979, so I did a quick search to see if Hofstadter has revised much and found this article from last year that has some similarities to the link you shared.

A F150 and a Gremlin are vastly different too, but in a world that only has two automobiles, they beg to be compared.

Sure they are different. There may, however, be some convergence taking place, which we ignore at our peril.
