I think most people are a little bit tired of hearing that things that are manifestly possible, are instead impossible. If we'd take the time to recognise that the truth is somewhere in the middle (lots of tasks can be done, lots of them cannot), the conversation could at the very least be interesting.

As it stands every publication on this subject is filled with a lot of people that feel they need a polarised stance or they'll immediately be shot: Either they say LLMs are fundamentally broken and can't do shit (this is ridiculous) or they say that LLMs are self-aware and we should give them every single task ever (also ridiculous). It is really tedious to read the same dumb shit every single time.
