I think "LLMs are using well-studied modeling techniques with overwhelming resource investment" is the most fundamental critique and why I've been skeptical of the future of this wave. That's not to say we won't (and haven't already) gotten useful tools! There's obviously a lot to do with human language interfaces and complex analysis. I'm just skeptical a whole new level is just around the corner.
