LeCun: LLMs alone are not a path to human-level AI
ylecun · x · 2026-09-15
Yann LeCun clarified his position: LLM-based tools are useful and everyone uses them, but by themselves they are not a path to human-level AI. In his view, architectures that understand the real world are not LLMs — and the components that let current LLM systems interpret images, video and other real-world signals aren't LLMs either. He points to a one-hour talk with results and evidence backing these conclusions.
