AI chatbots like ChatGPT will never be as intelligent as humans: Meta’s AI chief

Meta’s chief AI scientist Yann LeCun has said large language models (LLMs), which power AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini, will never be able to match humans when it comes to reasoning and planning.

In an interview with the Financial Times, LeCun said large language models currently have a “very limited understanding of logic” and they “do not understand the physical world, do not have persistent memory, cannot reason in any reasonable definition of the term and cannot plan… hierarchically.”
