LeCun reiterates: human-level AI is far away and won't be built on LLMs
ylecun · x · 2026-09-26
Yann LeCun doubled down on his long-standing position, asking: where is your domestic robot, your Level-5 self-driving car, your system that learns to drive in hours like a 17-year-old, or one that understands the world and learns like a house cat?
Key points:
- AI will eventually match human intelligence in all domains—that's not in question.
- But we're still far from it, even as AI surpasses humans on an ever-growing list of tasks.
- The path won't be based on LLMs, though LLMs will have a role (e.g., as a text interface).
