Plot the same improvements on a linear y-axis and you get steady incremental gains, impressive but not the hockey stick that triggered the panic. [...] We don't have evidence that Mythos is actually an important step towards broad superintelligence.Disputed source (2026)

Disputed: the source URL is a Gary Marcus post dated May 10, 2026, and it contains only the second fragment in Marcus’s article text ("...we don’t have evidence that Mythos is actually an important step towards broad superintelligence") while the first fragment ("Plot the same improvements on a linear y-axis...") appears separately in a reader comment by Scenarica, not by Marcus. So the stored quote is a stitched composite, not a single verbatim Gary Marcus quote; the stored date is also not canonical, since the post date is May 10, 2026.

The source page is real and dated May 10, 2026, but the supplied passage is not a verbatim Gary Marcus quote. In the article body, Marcus writes the part about lacking evidence that Mythos is an important step toward broad superintelligence; the linear-y-axis / hockey-stick sentence appears instead in a separate comment by Scenarica, which the page labels only as “Liked by Gary Marcus.” That makes the provided quote a composite and misattributed to Marcus.

Quote attributed to Gary Marcus (Professor of Psychology and Neural Science, prominent AI skeptic), year 2026. Source URL (garymarcus.substack.com/p/misplaced-panic-over-ai-progress) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but two web searches confirmed both fragments verbatim: "Plot the same improvements on a linear y-axis and you get steady incremental gains, impressive but not the hockey stick that triggered the panic" and "we don't have evidence that Mythos is actually an important step towards broad superintelligence" — both from Marcus's recent Substack post "Misplaced panic over AI progress" at the exact source URL. Author attribution correct and consistent with Marcus's well-known skepticism. The [...] elision is valid. Vote alignment correct: statement "AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence" is voted "against," matching the quote downplaying the idea that current systems are an important step toward superintelligence.
