Gary Marcus again. The chief doomer of AI where goal posts keep on moving.

Almost everyone around me, even the primary school kids use ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini/Claude in some form on almost a daily basis. The daily engagement is v strong.

The models keep improving every year. Nano banana gets text spot on, human anatomy of digits and toes is spot on. Deep Research mode is mind boggling. All the major vendors have some form of voice interaction, and it feels pretty good. I use perplexity talk feature while driving to learn deep about a topic of interest.

The trend is strong, betting against the trend isn't wise.

I can paste entire books and ask questions about certain pieces. The context windows nowadays are wild.

Price per token keeps on dropping, more capability keeps on coming online.

Gary offers no solutions, just complaints.
