Yann LeCun, Pioneer of AI, Thinks Today's LLM's Are Nearly Obsolete

I personally have greatly benefitted from LLM's helping me reason about problems and make progress on many diverse issues across professional, recreational and mental health difficulties. I think that asking whether it's just "text generation and search" rather than something that transcends it is as meaningful as asking whether an airplane really "flies" or just "applies thrust and generates lift".

I personally benefit from AI auto complete when coding. I think that value isn't worth what people say it is. But I'm often wrong about what I think the value of something is (e.g. social media) and it's true value. I unfortunately often have people try to justify their thinking or beliefs by just pasting a ChatGPT output or screenshot to "prove" it.

Or perhaps:
