This sort of stuff has been said about pretty much every technological breakthrough in history. Language models on their own do indeed have lots of limitations, however there is a lot of potential in coupling them with other types of expert systems. We simply don’t know what all the potential applications are for this tech. However, the iron rule throughout history has been that people dismissing new technological developments have typically been proven wrong.
