I think we're all in for a rude awakening, regarding what societal changes AI actual makes, but that's neither here nor there. You're making the same mistake you're accusing them of making - assuming to know the future at the beginning. You're assuming that fixing these issues will prove to be trivial or at least inevitable. Sure, recent progress has been swift, but if you recall, it was damn-near stagnant for decades. Some were even claiming we were in the middle of an "AI Winter" and could not see the spring! Based on all currently-available evidence, the current techniques that we utilize for generative AI are unreliable, in terms of accuracy of derived facts. It will require either a different or complementary approach to iron that out, or we're going to have to start seeing some _very interesting_ emergent properties from scaling higher. This stuff could show up tomorrow, or it might never show up at all! But the _current_ LLM framework does not look like it can do what we're looking for here, not reliably, certainly not 100% reliably.
