@GaryMarcus I’m also interested, who said LLMs were AGI already? Most of the AGI hype I’m picking up is basically “we’re almost there”, which may or may not be the case.

I agree that LLMs themselves will likely not magically become AGI, but modularity is needed – if it can be done.

Nobody said LLMs weren’t useful.

We said they aren’t AGI.

LeCun and I are both right about that. Time will bear that out.

@GaryMarcus @ylecun It's an interesting coincidence that you are both aligned and wrong at the same time. LLMs are a kind of AI that may not be humanlike, but is extremely capable and useful.

The statement is part of a conversation on social media about the nature and potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), specifically regarding their relation to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The discussion involves experts in the field sharing their views on the capabilities and limitations of LLMs, as well as the direction of AI research. The tone is informative and analytical, with a focus on clarifying misconceptions and predicting future developments in AI.
