The second question from this post: https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/dear-elon-musk-here-are-five-things
The full text is: "In 2029, AI will not be able to read a novel and reliably answer questions about plot, character, conflicts, motivations, etc. Key will be going beyond the literal text, as Davis and I explain in Rebooting AI."
Judgment will be by me, not Gary Marcus.
Ambiguous whether this means start or end of 2029, so I have set it for the end.
This question is managed and resolved by Manifold.
