The discussion was about whether robotics was about to transform or not. And obviously it is because of how much basic robotics workloads improve with these models.
Apparently even english tenses are too hard, let alone anything else. Bald faced lie, to claim what you think might happen in the future has already happened in the past. No matter "what the discussion was about", or what arguments you bring to support your estimation of the future.
Really not that hard.
