What Happened: “You should try Tesla self-driving,” Musk said in response to Yann LeCun‘s Twitter post on teaching machines how the world works.

“Obviously, we are still missing something big for machines to reach human-level intelligence,” LeCun wrote.

The scientist and researcher, also a professor at New York University, posed two questions to “those who think AGI is upon us”- on the unavailability of level-5 autonomous driving and the lack of domestic robots that can clear a dinner table. The two tasks could be effectively completed by a 17-year-old with 20 hours of driving training and a 10-year-old respectively, LeCun said.

In response to Musk’s recommendation, LeCun said he would try self-driving as soon as he received it on his 2023 Model S Plaid, confirming himself to be a Tesla user. “Also, I’ve been using autopilot since 2015, when I got my first Model S,” he wrote.

Musk replied again to LeCun saying, “Just tap the button for FSD Beta.”

LeCun and Musk have refuted each other over AI previously too. "Why be scared of AI when we don't even have a blueprint (let alone a demo) of a system capable of human-level intelligence?" LeCun wrote to Musk in April.
