Comment by Yann LeCun
Computer scientist, AI researcher
There is no such thing as an intelligence explosion. There is no reason AI should become in control just because it is more capable.

AI Unverifiable
Source URL (in-sightpublishing.com "Ask a Genius" article, June 2025) returns 403 to WebFetch, and the exact wording "There is no such thing as an intelligence explosion" doesn't appear in indexed search snippets. However, the substance is fully consistent with LeCun's well-documented views: he calls superintelligence overthrowing humans a "sci-fi trope" and "ridiculous", argues the path to superintelligence via LLMs is "complete bullshit", and says humans will be the "boss" of future AI systems regardless of capability. Vote "against" aligns with the statement "AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence" — LeCun rejects fast-takeoff scenarios. Marking as ai_unverifiable because I cannot confirm the exact phrasing from the primary source.
