Gary Marcus argues that Anthropic's recent blog post, while showcasing impressive coding advancements, does not signal an imminent Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). He contends that the demonstrated capabilities, such as faster code generation, fall under "recursive self-improvement" (RSI) and are essentially advanced tools under human control, rather than true AGI. Marcus suggests that achieving AGI will require fundamentally new ideas beyond mere code optimization and scaling, and that the blog post's alarmist tone regarding AI control is misplaced given the current state of the technology.
