Nope. It's still true. (post X en réponse à Noah Smith)
X post by **Yann LeCun** (founder and president of **AMI Labs**, professor at NYU, former Chief AI Scientist at Meta, Turing Award), September 25, 2026, ~110 words. He replies to **Noah Smith**, who deemed a video *« already falsified »*, in which LeCun calls the idea of a *« country of geniuses in a data center »* *« complete BS »*. (A) Four test questions: where is the domestic robot, the voiture autonome de **niveau 5**, the car that learns to drive *« in a few hours of practice like any 17 year old »*, the system that understands the real world and learns fast *« like a house cat »*? (B) A concession: AI will match humans in every domain, and the technology **already surpasses them on a growing number of tasks**. (C) Two caveats: *« We're still far from that »*, and it won't be built on **LLMs**, confined to a text-interface role. A second post points back to his September 20 formulation: autoregressive LLMs, *« in and of themselves »*, will not lead to human-level AI. Until now, the corpus held LeCun only as a reference cited by others ([[deanwball-open-weights-decelerationnistes-kimi-2026-07-17]]), not as a source; the text reads alongside the skepticism in [[luc-julia-ai-controversy-statements-media-2025-08-22]].
