It's not, but it showed that we can get a magnitude better results by adding a magnitude more data.

To be honest, it's not where I'd like to see efforts in the field go.

Not because I'm afraid of AI taking over, but because I'd rather have humans recreate something comparable to a human brain (functionality wise).

Who knows, maybe in a few years you will be amazed at the new universal transformer chip that runs on 20W of power and can do almost any task. No need for retraining, just speak to it, show it what you need. Even prompt engineering has been automated (https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.00121) so no more mystery. So much for the new hot job of GPT prompt engineer that would replace software dev.
