Yann LeCun Advises PhD Students Against Working on Large Language Models Due to AI Limitations

Yann LeCun, a prominent figure in AI, advises PhD students against working on Large Language Models (LLMs), stating they are only a stepping stone towards achieving human-level intelligence. He highlights the limitations of LLMs in exhibiting key capabilities required for advanced intelligence, emphasizing the need for research on methods to overcome these limitations. LeCun suggests that humans' ability for deliberate planning using internal world models sets them apart from LLMs' current capabilities.
