Reply to comment by GlobusGlobus in Gary Marcus refuted?? by FusionRocketsPlease

if gpt is more important for you that's okay. everyone has a mission and it doesn't have to be the same. there are physicists still going at it without caring much about gpt or agi. who cares man, we have a limited life and we'll all be dead sooner or later. relax.
