Yann LeCun stressed he doesn't deny LLM-based AI tools are useful (everyone uses them), but by themselves they are not a path to human-level AI. Architectures that understand the real world are not LLMs, and the components that let current LLM systems interpret images and video are distinct. He shared the full slide deck of his one-hour talk laying out the results and evidence behind these conclusions.
