At the current time this is essentially science fiction though. This something that the best funded companies on the planet (as well as many many others) work on and seem to be completely unable to achieve despite trying their best for years now, despite an incredible hype.
It feels like if those resources were poured in nuclear fusion for example we'd have it production ready by now.
The field is also not a couple of years old, this has been tried for decades. Sure only now companies decided to put essentially "unlimited" resources into it, but while it showed that certain things are possible and work extremely well, it also strongly hinted that at least the current approach will not get us there, especially not without significant trade-off (that whole over training vs "creativity" and hallucination topic).
Doesn't mean it won't come, but that it doesn't appear a "we just need a bit more development" topic. The state hasn't changed much. Models became bigger and bigger and people added that "thinking" hack and agents and agents for agents, but it also didn't change much about the initial approach and its limitations, given that they haven't cracked these problems after years of hyped funding.
Would be amazing if we would have AIs that automate research and maybe help us fix all the huge problems the world is facing. I'd absolutely love that. I'd also love it if people could easily create tools, games, art. However that's not the reality we live in. Sadly.
