To be fair, Gary Marcus pioneered the "LLMs will never make it" genre of complaining. Everyone else is derivative [1]. Let the man have his victory lap. He's been losing arguments for 5 years straight at this point.

I get what you mean though, even if he's right it must've been pretty annoying hearing the same thing all the time.
