The current models cannot be made to become better than humans who are good at their job. Many are not good at their job though and I think (see) we already crossed that. Certain outsourcing countries could have (not yet, but will have) millions of people without jobs as they won't be able to steer the LLMs to making anything usable as they never understood anything to begin with.

For people here on HN I agree with you; not in the next 2 years or, if no-one invents another model than the transformer based model, not for any length of time until that happens.

Agreed. I think the parent poster meant it differently, but I think self driving cars are an excellent analogy.

They've been "on the cusp" of widespread adoption for around 10 years now, but in reality they appear to have hit a local optimum and another major advance is needed in fundamental research to move them towards mainstream usage.
