I am definitely not an expert, nor do I have inside information on the directions of research that these companies are exploring.

Yes, existing LLMs are useful. Yes, there are many more things we can do with this tech.

However, existing SOTA models are large, expensive to run, still hallucinate, fail simple logic tests, fail to do things a poorly trained human can do on autopilot, etc.

The performance of LLMs is extremely variable, and it is hard to anticipate failure.

Many potential applications of this technology will not tolerate this level of uncertainty. Worse solutions with predictable and well understood shortcomings will dominate.
