But doing nothing has a number of issues. First, it ignores the very real fact that we do not need any further advances in AI technology to see years of future disruption. Right now, AI systems are not well-integrated into businesses and organizations, something that will continue to improve even if LLM technology stops developing

The performance of highly advanced artificial intelligence models is constrained by the knowledge available to them. Even if GPT-6 is smarter than you, if it doesn’t have access to the right information, it won’t be able to say anything truly interesting.

Artificial general intelligence would be a major turning point in the relationship between humans and machines—what many predict would be the most significant single event in the history of the human race. It’s a milestone that I believe we should not cross unless we have first definitively solved all problems of control and safety. But given the r

important point here: these systems are much better at doing tasks than jobs. and giving people better tools to do their work faster often leads to qualitative changes in what they can do. (of course, over the long run, we expect these systems will be able to do all of some of… Show more

LeCun points to four essential characteristics of human intelligence that current AI systems, including LLMs, can’t replicate: reasoning, planning, persistent memory, and understanding the physical world. He stresses that LLMs’ reliance on textual data severely limits their understanding of reality: “We’re easily fooled into thinking they are intel... See more
