Gary Marcus: AI isn't over — what may end is insane valuations and data center spending
GaryMarcus · x · 2026-11-06
Citing Bloomberg's Dave Bosa (DeepSeek moment cost Nvidia $600b in one day yet the run continued), Gary Marcus clears up strawmen and lays out predictions:
- He never claimed "AI is over," not after DeepSeek and not now.
- What may actually end is the era of insanely high valuations and exponentially growing data center investment.
- Generative AI will keep being used, mostly via harnessed neurosymbolic models with tools rather than pure LLMs, which have fallen out of favor.
- New architectures will eventually eclipse today's AI, but it may take several years.
