And you think this is the end of innovation, this is it, no improvements from here?

Duplex is interacting with a human and that person has no idea its a computer on the other end. Yes, Duplex is limited as it stands, but what is there to make you think something as described in grandparent post won't exist in ten years?

This is what existed 50 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHRDLU#Excerpt

In terms of NLP, the Duplex seems hardly that much of a jump. The main improvements seem to be on the speech part.
