Why are people saying language models aren't enough?
Show answer & explanation
Answer: Fluent words ≠ world understanding
They type too fast — Wrong. Speed is not the main issue. The deeper question is whether AI can model objects, space, and cause-and-effect in the real world.
Fluent words ≠ world understanding ✓ — Correct! A model can sound fluent in language while still lacking a stable grasp of how the real world works.
Robotics is already solved — Wrong. Robotics is exactly where the gap becomes obvious: acting in the real world is much harder than generating plausible text.
