Yann LeCun, Meta's chief artificial intelligence (AI) scientist shared his thoughts on ChatGPT.
ChatGPT has been making headlines worldwide, but not all are impressed. Yann LeCun, Meta's chief artificial intelligence scientist, had some harsh words for the program in an hour-and-a-half talk hosted by the Collective[i] Forecast. This online, interactive discussion series is organized by Collective[i]."In terms of underlying techniques, ChatGPT is not particularly innovative," said LeCun on Zoom last week.
"It's nothing revolutionary, although that's the way it's perceived in the public," said LeCun. "It's just that, you know, it's well put together, it's nicely done."He noted that such systems had been built before by other companies; they simply hadn’t gained the popularity of ChatGPT."It's not only just Google and Meta, but there are half a dozen startups that basically have very similar technology to it," said LeCun.
In many ways, ChatGPT was a group effort as it brought together multiple pieces of technology developed over many years by many parties. "You have to realize, ChatGPT uses Transformer architectures that are pre-trained in this self-supervised manner," said LeCun. "Self-supervised learning is something I've been advocating for a long time, even before OpenAI existed.”
