Software engineering legend Grady Booch reaffirmed his stance during a debate with Gary Marcus, stating that AGI "is not coming anytime soon."
He emphasized that AGI itself remains a poorly defined concept with blurry boundaries, making arguments about its specific details or 'sharp edges' low in value. Based on current technological realities, Booch firmly believes there is little to no chance of AGI being realized within this century.
