Gary Marcus highlights a shift in narrative from frontier labs, moving from "AGI next year" to "society adapts slowly." He critiques Sam Altman for admitting he was wrong about adoption speed but not about AGI timelines. Marcus argues that current AI still fails at basic reliability, completing only 2 of 10 proposed benchmarks, suggesting true AGI is still years away.
