I didn't see any good reasons to be dismissive of LLMs, I saw a weak attempt at implying we're at a local maxima because scientists don't know better than to chase after what seems magical or special to them due to their bias as humans.

It's not an especially insightful or sound argument imo, and neither are random complaints about capabilities of systems millions of people use daily despite your own claims.

And for the record:

> because NO business currently using LLM extensively could be profitable without generous donation of compute from large corporations like Microsoft

OpenAI isn't the only provider of LLMs. Plenty of businesses are using providers that provide their services profitably, and I'm not convinced that OpenAI themselves are subsidising these capabilities as strongly as they once did.
