I think people get confused that LLM is the beginning and end of AI. It’s just a piece. I think AI is an ensemble of all the classic AI techniques and IR and other information, computational, optimization, agent, etc systems. LLMs are remarkable in their abductive reasoning abilities, which is something we’ve generally failed to produce so far. But they’re not complete, and the criticism that they’re worthless because they’re incomplete misses the point. They don’t need to play chess, because we already have much better chess playing systems. But they fill a gap that all our other techniques have been unable to fill, and that is where the magic lives. It’s unnecessary for them to do everything, as those things already have good solutions.
