Reminds me of this post by Scott Aaronson: https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=6288

"Forget all that. Judged against where AI was 20-25 years ago, when I was a student, a dog is now holding meaningful conversations in English. And people are complaining that the dog isn’t a very eloquent orator, that it often makes grammatical errors and has to start again, that it took heroic effort to train it, and that it’s unclear how much the dog really understands."

Because those points are key to whether the technology can (or is worthwhile to) be evolved further. Is a dog that just holds conversations without any understanding what we want, or do we want the dog to eventually take on more interesting tasks? Can we get there with this method or not? How much effort would it take?

Technology that can only make you go ooh and ahh is pretty useless.
