I'm not so sure about that. I think the main innovation that they've shown is how to convert unstructured data (or difficult to define structures) to machine-usable forms using neutral nets. Then those neural nets can be "trained" quite generically using a system of carrots and sticks. I believe the computers will be able to optimize against those carrots and sticks even without new human generated corpi.
While I think a lot of it sounds like magic to folks, and a lot of the hype is overblown, I truly think there is something revolutionary about where we are with AI technology.

Agree

My point on "needing continual human effort" is that there is still a human (a team in fact) deciding deciding all that. The resulting AI are not deciding "hmmm....today I'm going to go learn how nuclear engineering works". They have no consciousness. No aesthetics. No desires.
I know you were not suggesting they did have any of those things, I'm simply making clear that without constant human direction, they are incapable of doing anything. They are a screwdriver or a buzzsaw.
The danger is that a naive public will believe that it has agency and ascribe to it all manner to deference.
