"Plausible-looking but incorrect sentences" is cheap, reflexive cynicism. LLMs are an incredible breakthrough by any reasonable standard. The reason to be optimistic about further progress is that we've seen a massive improvement in capabilities over the past few years and that seems highly likely to continue for the next few (at least). It's not going to scale forever, but it seems pretty clear that when the dust settles we'll have LLMs significantly more powerful than the current cutting edge -- which is already useful.
Is it going to scale to "superintelligence?" Is it going to be "the last invention?" I doubt it, but it's going to be a big deal. At the very least, comparable to google search, which changed how people interact with computers/the internet.
