ChatGPT is 'not particularly innovative,' and 'nothing revolutionary', says Meta's chief AI scientist

Why hasn't the public seen programs like ChatGPT from Meta or from Google? "The answer is, Google and Meta both have a lot to lose by putting out systems that make stuff up," says Meta's chief AI scientist, Yann LeCun. Much ink has been spilled of late about the tremendous promise of OpenAI's ChatGPT program for generating natural-language utterances in response to human prompts. The program strikes many people as so fresh and intriguing that ChatGPT must be unique in the universe. Also: What is ChatGPT and why does it matter? Scholars of AI beg to differ.
