Riiiight. Or you could see this as attack. But that would be awkward.

You can't really turn your thinking over to a Kindle to set you free. The point is about thinking machines, not machines per se.

But if a Kindle could do this the point would still stand.

But let's say this was shown on a kindle that can write it's own stories, it still wouldn't invalidate Herbert's point.

Not really, it's about "thinking machines made in the likeness of or to counterfeit a human mind."
It's not about all machines.

Trump gave Israel the bombs it uses to kill civilians.

He armed Israel’s siege starving two million people, half of them kids.

He defunded UNRWA and USAID.

He proposed the forced displacement—aka ethnic cleansing—that Israel is now openly pursuing in Gaza.

And he wants Palestinians to thank him?

REPORTER: Should Israel be doing more to allow food in Gaza?

TRUMP: Say it?

R: Should Israel be doing more to allow food?

T: What is she saying?

SOMEONE: Should Israel be doing more to allow food in Gaza?

T: You really at least want to have somebody say thank you. We gave $60m for food for Gaza

Vlad Vexler put this really interesting video out.
"Trump's decisions are shaped by the need for spectacle, not strategy."
So it's while you can say Trump doesn't really know what he is doing that doesn't mean his intent in unknowable.
Which in turn makes him easy to manipulate.

I was in a room in a photo museum alone with Nick Cave, looking at pictures of Nick Cave. We didn't say a word.
