I haven't even formed much of an opinion either way, yet. Sure, I have doubt, but that's more of a default than something I reasoned myself into. I'm saying it's just way too early to make statements either way about the future of LLMs and AI that are anything beyond wild guesses. "This time it's different, it's fundamentally transformative and will obviously change the world" is a religious statement when made this early.
