we're extremely early on

Oh really! The analysis has been established since the 80's. Its so far from early on that statement is comical

Transformers, the foundation of modern "AI", was proposed in 2017. Whatever we called "AI" and "Machine Learning" before that was mostly convolutional networks inspired by the 80's "Neocognitron", which is nowhere near as impressive.

The most advanced thing a Convolutional network ever accomplished was DeepDream, and visual Generative AI has skyrocketed in the 10 years since then. Anyone looking at this situation who believes that we have hit bedrock is delusional.

From DeepDream to Midjourney in 10 years is incredible. The next 10 years are going to be very weird.
