I am a PhD student working in learning and autonomy space and every researcher I know thinks Gary Marcus is a joke. I'm not saying he doesn't know things, but all I am saying is machine learning at scale is not his area of expertise although he pretends it is. Period. He passes on very generic, obvious statements about the future without any details and when someone does something in that direction he claims 'I told you so!, you should have listened to me in the past!'. Look at the entire chain of discussion between Gary Marcus and Yann LeCun in this thread you'll get a sense of I am talking about: https://twitter.com/ylecun/status/1523305857420824576 https://twitter.com/ylecun/status/1523305857420824576
Gary Marcus is an academic grifter and to me he is no different than crypto bros who grift non-experts.
