I'm a senior Linux sysadmin who's been following the evolution of AI over this past year just like you, and just like you I've been spending my days and nights tinkering with it non stop, and I have come to more or less the same conclusion as you have.

The downvotes are from people who haven't used the AI, and who are still in the Internet 1.0 mindset. How people still don't get just how revolutionary this technology is, is beyond me. But yeah, in a few years that'll be evident enough, time will show.

I feel sorry for these folks. They have no idea what's about to happen.

I quite agree.

And, from SirGolan ref : Submitted on 3 Oct 2023 Language Models Represent Space and Time
... (from the summary) ...Our analysis demonstrates that modern LLMs acquire structured knowledge about fundamental dimensions such as space and time, supporting the view that they learn not merely superficial statistics, but literal world models.

What makes it worse (in my opinion) is that LLMs are just one step in this development (which is exponential and not limited by human capabilities).
For example :
