Puff piece or not, give credit where credit is due. Google fostered the environment that enabled that paper.
In economics, where I come from, people are not afraid to give accolades to relevant people, whether treasury secretaries, banking economists, or professors.
I feel that in tech, due to the lack of publications that have technical capabilities to understand that impact plus the lack of goodwill from the media in general, there are a lot of folks doing relevant work out there that is ostracised due to this "cult of tech CEO/entrepreneur" or intentionally under the radar to not bring any negative light in their lives.

As someone who periodically listens to papers via text-to-speech, I was intrigued when I saw this link. I'm a little uncertain about the "AI simplification" - If I'm reading a paper I don't want to have the second guess everything I hear as to whether it completely misinterpreted, elided, or hallucinated a point. Do you have any personal experience with the results?

What's in it is positive association between AI and Google. Google is sort of a seen as a joke in the latest wave of consumer facing AI tools, and they desperately want to change that.
