How accurate have Ed Zitron's AI skeptic predictions been?

I think it has been interesting to follow Ed Zitron's writing because I think at least as far as AI is concerned, he has become such a visible person that pushes against it, that he has become almost a cult figure for some.

With the predictions below, someone could have the exact same prediction record and have completely reasonable reasons that just didn't pan out. Or someone could be correct in every case and also be wrong because all of their reasons are wrong. Someone like the latter person might have some kind of intuition that they're unable to articulate, or perhaps they're someone who just got lucky. Fortunately for us, we don't have to make this difficult judgement call because Zitron is wrong on the predictions and also wrong on the reasoning.
