So if someone was saying "there's nothing to talk about here, it's just a box of controlled explosions", we can safely ignore that person too.

This is also a good point, and I agree with you 100% here. I don't think one could responsibly argue that the impact and consequences are not significant, regardless of if they believe it's near AGI or it's just fancy next token prediction.
