Symbolic AI isn't dead, we use it all the time, it's just not a good orchestrating layer for interacting with humans. LLMs are great as a human interface and orchestrator but they're definitely going to be calling out to symbolic models for expanded functionality. This pattern is obvious, we're already on the path with agentic tool use and toolformers.

This is what I mean by "move the goalposts like Gary Marcus did", yes.

If what you're claiming is that external, vaguely-symbolic tooling allows a non-symbolic AI to perform better on certain tasks, then I agree with that.

If you replace "a non-symbolic AI" with "a human", I agree with that too.
