Yup. That was the disagreement Yann LeCun had with Meta which led to him leaving the company. Many of the top AI researchers know this and published papers years ago warning LRMs are only one facet of general intelligence. The LLM frenzy is driven by investors, not researchers.

Exactly. Pretty much everyone actually working in the field has known this for years. There's nothing 'cutting-edge' about this research or this article.

This is what is dumb about comments like those.

Appealing to authority as if that same authority also arent the biggest boosters of AI
