I think this is a great summary of where we are at now, but I think stronger broad-coverage language models (=expectations for what people say, better generative models of speakers) are feasible (for a couple 10s-100s of millions in R&D) to bring ASR up to parity with people. It's pretty clear we are getting close to the limits of what acoustics can offer, and it's the language model that is the next frontier both in terms of accuracy and real-time performance.
