What the Pioneer Who Disagrees with ChatGPT Creators Says About AI

I stopped scrolling while reading an article today.

Yann LeCun (Meta's Chief AI Scientist) just threw another curveball at OpenAI. He stated, "LLMs don't have true intelligence. They don't understand the world; they just mimic patterns."

He isn't rejecting AI itself, but rather arguing that "the current path is wrong and therefore more dangerous."

Surprisingly, this connects well to exporting workflows.

We once used AI to pull a list of potential buyers, and I was bewildered when companies completely outside our industry were ranked at the top. The patterns matched, but the context was wrong. I couldn't help but think that this was exactly what LeCun was talking about.

That is why these days, when we test tools like Rinda, we verify for ourselves whether it truly "grasps the context" or is just performing keyword matching. I haven't reached a final conclusion yet, but it’s certainly too early to trust it blindly.

What was the most frustrating moment you experienced while using AI for buyer prospecting?
