Gary Marcus says Gemini can take video, but not reliably reason about plots or motives
GaryMarcus · x · 2026-07-25
Gary Marcus pushes back on a claim about Gemini video understanding, arguing that being able to input video is not the same as reliably reasoning about:
- plot
- character motivation
- scene-by-scene explanation
He cites an earlier example where a MrBeast video summary contained numerous errors, using it as evidence that video reasoning remains brittle.
