The AI Revolution Is Already Obsolete, Says Yann LeCun
Enjoy Your Large Language Models While They Last. According to Yann LeCun, Meta’s chief AI scientist, today’s AI is about as sophisticated as a glorified parrot, and it’s already on its way out.
LeCun predicted that within five years, nobody in their right mind will use LLMs as the foundation of AI. Instead, a new paradigm of AI architectures will emerge. One that overcomes the four fatal flaws of current systems: no true understanding of the physical world, no memory, no reasoning, and no ability to plan. In other words, LLMs are all talk, no brains.
LeCun’s vision centers on “world models”: AI systems that mimic human intuition, common sense, and real-world reasoning. These would allow machines to interact with and learn from their environments, instead of simply remixing internet text.
He also predicts that this decade belongs to robotics, with AI moving beyond chatbots and into the physical world, a field that both Meta and OpenAI are now aggressively pursuing.
If LLMs are just a stepping stone, what comes next? Will AI-powered robotics finally surpass the intelligence of a cat, as LeCun suggests? What new AI architectures will redefine intelligence?
