Gary Marcus is so systematically and overconfidently wrong that I wonder why we keep talking about this clown.

People just give attention to people making surprising bold counter narrative predictions but don't give them any attention when they're wrong.
People like him and Zitron do serve a useful purpose in balancing the hype from the other side, which, while justified to a great extent, is often a bit too overwhelming.
Being wrong in the other direction doesn't mean you've found a great balance, it just means you've found a new way to be wrong.
