Grady Booch pushes back on Gary Marcus’s AGI framing and says he still believes we are at least a generation away from true AGI.
He argues that AGI should mean general ability across all tasks expert humans can do, and says there is no sign we have reached that level yet. He adds that while it might still happen next decade, he does not think it is imminent.
