Completely agree with this. There's a short sentence in the abstract:

> hyperparameter optimization and prompt engineering

Prompt engineering seems a lot like "tweaking the question format until the AI gets the answer" which is the first lesson in ANNs; don't train on your test set. If you can't put the actual question with the only context being "this question concerns US law" then there's an awful lot of reasoning and thinking that the human is doing which the AI cannot.

Let's not have another Moore's law fallacy, it's not reasonable to extrapolate progress based on existing results. It's like building a car which can go at 200mph then saying 300mph is just around the corner.
