In your view, then, is AI best described as an incremental improvement over (say) SQL in terms of the tasks it enables users to complete?

Incremental improvement over Google search. And, it's not about the tasks that it enables users to complete, it is about the UI paradigm as per the article.
Sorry for the confusion, I just view UI as being basically synonymous with task completion: in the end, the user interface is the set of tools the system gives users to complete tasks.
Since the Google search interface is meant to look like you're talking to an AI, and probably has a lot of what we'd call AI under the hood, to turn natural language prompts into a query, I'm not surprised you view it as an incremental improvement at best.
