Id be shocked if people pitching startups and research grants etc all started saying "yeah this stuff isn't going to work for a couple of decades in any kind of sustainable manner" even if these types of unknowable unknowns were known.
I also think generally in ML and DL the overarching progress gets hyped but in the background there are murmurs about the limitations in the research community. Thats how we end up with people in 2012 saying FSD is a couple years away but in 2022 we know we aren't even close yet. We tend to oversell how capable these systems are.
