Unless LLMs drastically shift incredibly quickly, said declaration is likely to hold, because of how LLMs work. I mean, they've worked the same way at their core for several years now.

Their nature hasn't changed but their capabilities have. What we thought was impossible due to their "nature" keeps shifting.

They predict what comes next and are very good at it. That's all intelligence is. What comes next in a pattern? What will my senses perceive next when I drop this ball? What is the next hypothesis to test after I made these measurements in the previous experiment? What is the best next move in this game after the current trajectory?
