The actual claim was that pure scaling would not continue indefinitely and that LLMs would have to be supplemented with other techniques, probably neurosymbolic.

AlphaFold and AlphaProof are good examples of the value of that approach.

The BS in AI is just as bad as the BS in politics. Nobody (not even me) ever said Deep Learning is “dead”.

Remember when Deep Learning was dead….

The statement engages in a technical discussion about the limitations and future directions of AI, specifically regarding the use of large language models (LLMs) and the potential need for neurosymbolic techniques. It references examples like AlphaFold and AlphaProof to support the argument. The tone is analytical and aims to contribute to the ongoing debate about AI development strategies.
