He warns against the impending 'model collapse' of large language models due to reliance on AI-generated content. Rao argues for grounding AI in reality and rethinking traditional approaches, suggesting that true intelligence should mimic biological efficiency. His insights challenge current methodologies and highlight the importance of observational learning in AI development.
