I wouldn't bet on loss of perceived expert on the other side status or prestige no matter how poorly his gloomy LLM forecasts fare. It hasn't happened from any of his previous consistently pessimistic predictions around deep learning since the beginning of its resurgence (which has clearly far surpassed its state in 2012, even if currently overhyped). To quote Gary Marcus quoting Gary Marcus:
> Yet deep learning may well be approaching a wall, much as I anticipated earlier, at beginning of the resurgence (Marcus, 2012)
