Also, the author focuses on the fact that LLMs are not much better at things that robots already do, such as moving stuff in a store. Yeah. But they are surprisingly good at many things that robots already didn't do, such as writing texts and composing songs. It's like getting a flying car and saying "meh, on a highway it's not really much faster than the classical car". Or getting a computer and saying that the calculator app is not faster than actual calculator. A robot powered by some future LLM may not be much better at moving stuff, but it will be able to follow commands such as "I am going on a vacation, pack my suitcase with all I need" without giving a detailed list.
