The interesting question is whether that gap will narrow, and if so, how much, and on what timescale.

The exact answer to this question is not knowable, but if you are the kind of person who comes to a site called "hacker news", and you think there is a nonzero chance that the answer is that yes, the gap will narrow and this won't always be an expensive toy, then now seems like a pretty great time to get in the game and start exploring the capabilities.
