Using Shannon's Noisy Channel Theorem to Roast LeCun on LLM Error Correction
mgostIH · x · 2026-08-06
Amidst the debate over whether LLMs can correct their own errors via self-reflection or Chain-of-Thought, a developer invoked Shannon's noisy-channel coding theorem to counter Yann LeCun's views.
He humorously pointed out that if the underlying noise rate of the system reaches 50%, error correction becomes mathematically impossible according to information theory, poking fun at the ongoing model architecture debate.
