Gary Marcus resurfaced AI2 CEO Oren Etzioni's quote from a new FT piece on the dangers of overestimating AI and deep learning: "If we have Elon Musk and Nick Bostrom talking about 'superintelligence', we need [sceptics like] Gary Marcus to provide a reality check."
The endorsement puts establishment weight behind AI skepticism at a moment of intense AGI hype.
