Actually the "google engineer" in the article is Ray Kurzweil, a man who's been a futurist for longer than most Redditors have been alive.

I don't always agree with his views and predictions, but he certainly has earned the right to be called more than "a google engineer."

It's likely because Kurzweil is controversial in his views and his predictions are fairly widely known, thus the click bait title.
