Short Summary​

Richard Sutton, a founding father of reinforcement learning (RL), argues that RL, which focuses on learning from experience to understand and interact with the world to achieve goals, represents a more fundamental and scalable path to AI than large language models (LLMs), which primarily mimic human language and lack a true understanding or goals related to the external world. He believes that while LLMs demonstrate impressive capabilities, they are not a good starting point for experiential, continual learning, as they lack ground truth for what the right thing to say is and that true progress in AI requires a focus on autonomous learning from interaction with the real world, as opposed to imitating human knowledge.
