I think so. Although it is possible that it is being held back for safety reasons. The same has been true of CPUs and many other advances, but the timeframes were generally longer.

Whatever your opinion of the current state, LLMs are seemingly improving exponentially. You remember where we were a year ago. We can't fathom what it will be like in five years. Maybe even hard to imagine three. Once it hits the point of diminishing return on ability, it will move to speed and cost optimization. And of course everything will get smaller and take less energy in the standard progression. When viewing as a snapshot in infancy we can see the holes. But it's essentially a solved problem that is snowballing now. Not that it won't create other problems. And very likely solve many others.

Thanks for putting in the work. Only a matter of time before all of this runs locally at very high accuracy. And can handle complex vocabularies.
