00:00Experts say LLMs aren't intelligent and never will be.

00:05Meta's Mark Zuckerberg says superintelligence is in sight.

00:08Anthropics Dario Amadei predicts AI smarter than a Nobel Prize winner by 2026.

00:14Sam Altman claims OpenAI now knows how to build AGI,

00:18which will supposedly turbocharge scientific discovery like a Red Bull-powered Newton.

00:22A growing number of scientists say, deep breath.

00:25No.

00:26The core issue is that today's AI wonder tools, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Meta's ever-renamed bots,

00:33are all just very fancy large language models.

00:36Under the hood, they vacuum up staggering amounts of text,

00:39slice it into tokens, and guess which tokens should come next.

00:42They're predictive linguists, not thinking machines.

00:46Conscious? No.

00:47Secretly designing warp drives? Also no.

00:50Neuroscience doesn't mince words here.

00:52Human thought and human language are related, but they're not the same thing.

00:57Take away language from an LLM, and it just disappears in a puff of GPU dust.

01:02Researchers behind a widely cited Nature commentary put it bluntly.

01:05Language is primarily a tool for communication rather than thought.

01:10Babies prove this.

01:11FMRI scans prove this.

01:14Everyday reasoning proves this.

01:15Meanwhile, LLMs prove only that they're excellent at producing text that sounds smart.

01:21Even within the AI world, skepticism is rising.

01:25AI legend Jan LeCun just left Meta to work on world models that actually understand physical reality.

01:31A group of leading researchers recently proposed redefining AGI,

01:36not as one giant brain, but as a spiderweb of cognitive abilities.

01:40A more realistic, but still very fuzzy target.

01:43And even if we one day replicate human-level cognitive skills,

01:47that doesn't mean machines will leap into Einstein-style paradigm-shattering insights.

01:51Humans create new metaphors, new frameworks, new ways of seeing.

01:55AI, as currently built, recombines the metaphors we've already given it.

01:59It's brilliant, but stuck inside our vocabulary.

02:02In the end, today's AI isn't the architect of the future.

02:06It's a dazzling, data-driven echo.

02:08The real thinking is still very much a human job.

02:13The real thing is still very much.

02:21It's also very new when you get the instinct.

02:26They're adds culture back to mind.

02:30The whole thing I call this is there will be.

02:33I'm just going toPHY AAH people in power,

02:34balance the body as well as once.
