Marcus’s writing is from a scientific perspective, it’s not general artificial intelligence and probably not a meaningful path it GAI.

But the ivory tower misses the point of how LLM improved the ability of regular people to interact with information and technology.

While it might not be the grail they were seeking, it’s still a useful thing what will improve life and in turn be improved.

I don't see the relevance of this paper to AGI assuming one considers humans GI. Humans exhibit the same behavior where for each there's a complexity limit beyond which they are unable to solve any tasks in reasonable amount of time. For very complex tasks even training becomes unfeasible.

Marcus's writing is from the perspective of someone who is situated in the branch of AI that didn't work out - symbolic systems - and has a bit of an axe to grind against LLMs.

He's not always wrong, and sometimes useful as a contrarian foil, but not a source of much insight.
