“most people agreed, which in that crowd is very rare.”

Gary Marcus, author · 2 June 2026 · Why things will eventually fall apart (Marcus on AI)

Most people responding to Marcus's X post agreed with it.

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.

What would count as true or false

Judge as of 2026-06-02 against the replies, quote-posts and visible reactions to the X post by Marcus that the claim refers to. True: a clear majority (over 50%) of substantive responses (replies and quote-posts that take a position) agree with the post, whether in a systematic count or a fair sample of a few dozen or more. Mostly true: agreement is a majority but a slim or uncertain one (roughly 50–60% of a sample), or most agree with only minor qualifications. Mixed: responses are split roughly evenly (about 40–50% agreeing), or the result depends on how you sample. Mostly false: agreement is a large minority (about 25–40%), or agreement comes mostly from likes while most written replies disagree. False: most responses disagree or dismiss the post (under about 25% agree). Count responses that take a position and leave aside neutral or off-topic ones. The 'very rare in that crowd' remark is commentary and is not scored.

Reasoning

No evidence with a verified quote was found apart from the claim's own source, so the claim was not judged.
