Yeah I'm totally astounded too by these comments being highly upvoted on HN. Aren't the people here supposed to be nerdy? As your graph shows the very very hard part was getting to this point, being able to comprehend the basics of language and being able reproduce it correctly. This is the intelligence that laypeople thought was still 20 years out. Domain knowledge is exceedingly simple, running a basic check on google for references or correctness is exceedingly simple and is hardly intelligence. Creating a second layer that would do a sanity check on the first layer is very simple. Asking it to be creative and inventive instead of generic is very simple.

Come on HN, this is a huge step and the revolution is impending.
