Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff casts doubt on the hype surrounding artificial general intelligence (AGI), stating it remains distant from human-level intelligence. During an interview on the "20VC" podcast, he ridiculed the term "AGI head" and characterized the excitement as "hypnosis." While emphasizing advancements in large language models, he clarified they lack human-like compassion and consciousness. Benioff’s skepticism aligns with industry leaders, including OpenAI's Sam Altman and Eric Schmidt, who caution against unrealistic AGI expectations.
