That's not his point at all. He advocates using LLMs.

The correct analogy is: if we just scale and improve steel enough, we'll get a flying car.

Well, we did build airplanes out of steel, but there are better (lighter) materials avaiable. But the developement of car engines did directly enabled airplane engines. Not sure if this is the right analogy path, but I kind of suspect similar with LLM's/transformers. They will be a important part.
