rebuttals:

- LLM capability has grown spectacularly fast. Google published the transformers paper in 2017. Remember when OpenAI said GPT-2 was too dangerous to release? That was five years ago. Now look where they've gone and where trillions of dollars are going. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20912556

- what is the "actual definition of AI"? Do you mean AGI? Machine learning and deep learning have been subsets of AI since their inception.

- LLMs or any AI tech does not need to "reason, understand, debate and criticize" to be useful, disrupt the economy, and change how people work and live.
