CMV: Generative AI will not lead to human-level AI

Here, human-level means aggregate of human intelligence.

Humans have a brain architecture that models causality and simulates physical outcomes. LLMs don’t have a proper world model. Their knowledge is just a statistical echo of their training data.

These limitations stem from their architecture. These cannot be solved by more scaling. Therefore, all the progress done in the field of LLMs does not directly count towards invention of human-level AI.

If you think otherwise, do you see GenAI being able to drive a car?
