No.. he's right to an extent.
Yes both CPUs and GPUs are vitally important to the overall performance, they both serve their respective roles.
Older generation games were mostly CPU bound, in that CPU determined the game performance for the most part.
New generation games are much more reliant on GPUs, being that if you have a CPU that is 'good enough' for the game, your game performance will mostly depend on your GPUs.
Modern Nvidia GPUs are pretty insane with like 4+ million transistors pushing out 4k+ GFLOPS. Modern GPU technology has grown in leaps and bounds which is why they are necessary for high end applications like insane data crunching/bitcoin mining, AUTOCAD, scientific applications, Video editing and more. CPUs serve the basic math functions, GPUs do the hardcore benching.

No he isnt.
Just cause you can tag "processor" onto the end does not make them the same.
The architectures are completely different.
Just because a program adapt coding to crunch numbers w/ the gpu does not make them the same.

Its like comparing an ARM to an x86/64

Folding used to be done on CPUs back in the day
Now GPUs are more powerful for that .

Same thing with bitcoin mining.
That's the kind of stuff he was referring to.

You can definitely compare the two.. they both serve integral functions.
Some things that the CPU used to do, GPUs are better suited for now.

But neither can work without the other...?
If they are theoretically the same, you would only need 1, cause they should be the same and be able to handle the same processes.
Like i should be able to boot my pc without a cpu and only my 970.
I cant because they have different architecture, making them totally different.
Even motherboards that have video out have "integrated" gpu's.

Each one serves functions vastly different from one another.

You cant use a bitcoin miner as your base.
It is just code that interfaces with your gpu's codebase to use its DIFFERENT processor to crunch coins faster

I think you just like to argue and hear yourself talk.
