Retards with no technical insight will always take things too far. Just like that google 'engineer' who creamed himself over the new language model awhile back. The real problem is actually people like this vedal chump, who are interested in overstating the abilities of the system and have huge potential for financial gain from grifting normies who will think they are seeing the next revolution (see also T*sla """""self-driving""""" cars). Calling it a puppet show is exactly right. Normies will look and say "she's learning!", spread misinfo, anthropomorphize, and run their pattern-recognition into overdrive.
Just look at the number of zoomers repeating how "she's getting better with the lava!" or "she's learning about Twitch emotes and culture" - parroting nonsense about neural networks 'self-learning' when the pre-trained models used for this have no such learning capability. Basic technical literacy is not enough for this, but people watch a Codebullet video and Dunning-Kruger comes into full swing.
That said I would bet that by the end of the decade we will have powerful language->action models that will translate natural language into behaviors. First in games and online shopping/consumer support/etc. realms, then in accessibility, then in wider areas... but only where mistakes are tolerable. Aight, sorry for the noise, I'm going to bed now
