Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the disparity in success between language models (LLMs) and video models, questioning why LLMs can learn effectively from predicting the next token while video models struggle with next-frame predictions [1][5][21]. Group 1 - AI technology is rapidly evolving, leading to deeper reflections on the limits of AI capabilities and the similarities and differences between human brains and computers [2][3]. - Sergey Levine argues that current LLMs are merely indirect "scans" of human thought processes, suggesting that they do not replicate true human cognition but rather mimic it through reverse engineering [5][26]. - The success of LLMs raises questions about the current direction of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) exploration, indicating a potential need for adjustment in research focus [8][10]. Group 2 - The article highlights that while LLMs have achieved significant success in simulating human intelligence, they still exhibit limitations that warrant fundamental questioning [17][19]. - The core algorithm of LLMs is relatively simple, primarily involving next-word prediction, which leads to speculation about whether this simplicity reflects a universal algorithm used by the human brain [18][24]. - Despite the potential of video models to provide richer information, they have not matched the cognitive capabilities of LLMs, which can handle complex reasoning tasks that video models cannot [21][30]. Group 3 - The article posits that LLMs may not learn about the world through direct observation but rather through analyzing human thought processes reflected in text, leading to a form of indirect learning [26][28]. - This indirect learning method allows LLMs to simulate certain cognitive functions without fully understanding the underlying learning algorithms that humans use [30][32]. - The implications for AI development suggest that while LLMs can imitate human cognitive skills, they may struggle with autonomous learning from real-world experiences, highlighting a gap in achieving true adaptability [36][38].

鹭羽 发自 凹非寺 量子位 | 公众号 QbitAI 大模型目前的主导地位只是暂时的，在未来五年甚至十年内都不会是技术前沿。 这是新晋图灵奖得主、强化学习之父Richard Sutton对未来的最新预测。 就在刚刚的新加坡国立大学建校120周年 （NUS120） 之际，Sutton受邀发表演讲——塑造AI和强化学习的未来。 其实，这已经不是Sutton第一次在公开场合表达类似的观点，早在他19年的著作《痛苦的教训》中，他就明确提出： 让AI尤其是LLM模仿人类思维方式，只能带来短期的性能提升，长期看只会阻碍研究的持续进步。 在他4月份新发表的论文《欢迎来到体验时代》也再度强调了这点，同时他表示，扩展计算才是正解。 本次NUS120演讲长达一个多小时，可谓是干货满满、信息量超大。 让我们一起来看看完整演讲内容。 LLM主导是暂时的 Sutton首先提及当前人类处于数据时代，像ChatGPT这类大语言模型，都是靠分析人类产生的大量数据 （如文本、图像、视频） 进行训 练。 但始终追逐人类思维方式，至多也只能达到 "人类水平" 。 在数学、科学等领域，人类数据里的知识已经接近极限，AI难以突破现有认知，纯靠模仿已经 ...
