All CATS Look Away!😼😾😿🙀
This AI Pioneer Thinks AI Is Dumber Than a Cat
Yann LeCun, an NYU professor and senior researcher at Meta Platforms, says warnings about the technology’s existential peril are ‘complete B.S.’
I too think that AI unimpressive so far. Chatbots I have seen too slow to play with. But high IQ super communication is possible.

LeCun thinks that today’s AI models, while useful, are far from rivaling the intelligence of our pets, let alone us.
So Elon lies to us?

In 2019, LeCun won the A.M. Turing Award, the highest prize in computer science, along with Hinton and Yoshua Bengio. The award, which led to the trio being dubbed AI godfathers, honored them for work foundational to neural networks, the multilayered systems that underlie many of today’s most powerful AI systems, from OpenAI’s chatbots to self-driving cars.
He likes the cat metaphor. Felines, after all, have a mental model of the physical world, persistent memory, some reasoning ability and a capacity for planning, he says. None of these qualities are present in today’s “frontier” AIs, including those made by Meta itself.
