AI hype meets harsh reality. In this Black Hat interview, David Bombal talks with Gary Marcus (Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Neural Science at New York University, and AI Expert) just minutes after GPT-5’s announcement. Marcus explains why GPT-5 is only a small step forward, the truth about hallucinations, why AI coding agents pose massive cybersecurity risks, and why we may be years away from true AGI. If you want the unfiltered truth about AI progress, safety, and the future of large language models, watch this.
