ELIZA was not a natural language processor, and the fact that some people were easily fooled by a program that produced canned responses based on keywords in the text but was presented as a psychotherapist is not relevant to the issue here--it's a fallacy of affirmation of the consequent. Also, "4. Meta's AI chief scientist, Yann LeCun, has repeatedly said they are working on giving AI "common sense" and "world models" similar to how humans think." completely misses the mark. That LLMs don't do this is a criticism from old-school AI researchers like Gary Marcus; LeCun is saying that they are addressing the criticism by developing the sorts of technology that Marcus says are necessary.
