Gary Marcus has been a vocal critic of OpenAI and the generative AI boom.
  • AI hype has been everywhere since OpenAI introduced ChatGPT to the world.
  • Gary Marcus doesn't think we should buy the hype.
  • The academic has emerged as a vocal critic of OpenAI — and thinks it could end up like WeWork. 

Gary Marcus doesn't consider himself an AI skeptic. Don't let that throw you, though, when he argues that OpenAI could turn out to be as much of a dumpster fire as WeWork.

"I actually want AI to succeed, so to call me an AI skeptic as many people do is to miss that I'm not skeptical," Marcus told Business Insider. "I'm skeptical of how we're doing it right now."
