LLM inevitablists definitely assume future developments will improve their current state.

Yes, but the difference from the others, and the thing it has in common with early smartphones and the web, is that it's already useful (and massively popular) today.

		And self driving is a great lane assist. There's a huge leap from that to driving a taxi while you are at work is same as LLMs saving me mental effort with instructions on what to do and solving the task for me completely.

		What uses are you finding for it in the real world? I've found them nothing but unreliable at best, and quite dangerous at worst in terms of MCP and autonomous agents. Definitely not ready for production, IMO. I don't think they ever will be for most of what people are trying to use them for. "Novelty" comes to mind.

Yes, LLMs are currently useful and are improving rapidly so they are likely to become even more useful in the future. I think inevitable is a pretty strong word but barring government intervention or geopolitical turmoil I don't see signs of LLM progress stopping.

		Why would they progress significantly than where they are now? An LLM is an LLM. More tokens doesn't mean better capabilities, in fact, quite the opposite seems to be the case, and suggests smaller models aimed at specific tasks are the "future" of it.
