The author of the article judges the future of LLMs and AI using the current state of affairs, as is these technologies are not evolving very quickly. GPT3 and GPT4 are only 3 years apart, yet GPT4 is a completely different beast. And we are talking only about LLMs, we haven't yet seen what's coming in vision for example. Also I have not heard OpenAI or any serious AI visionary say ChatGPT is the holy grail of AI research. It is undoubtedly one of the best consumer ready technologies we have seen in the field to date but it just a tiny little piece of a massive infrastructure that is still in its very early stages. It's like saying HTML was the holy grail of the Internet. It was an important component of it but without fiber optics, microchips, radio, smartphones, algorithms, etc the Internet would not have been possible the way we know it today.
