I have no idea why this fair assessment of the status quo is being downvoted.

LeCun hasn't produced anything noteworthy in the past decade.

He uses the same slides in all of his presentations.

LLMs, while not yet AGI, have shown tremendous progress, and are actually useful for 99% of use cases for the average person.

The remaining 1% is for deep research into the deep unknown (physics, chemistry, genetics, diseases, the nature of intelligence itself), an area in which they falter.
