""I think that we have all been sold a lot of hypnosis around what's about to happen with AI," he said on the "20VC" podcast."
""You're talking to somebody who is extremely suspect if anybody uses those initials, 'AGI,'" Benioff said."
""AGI head - that sounds like an oxymoron," he said."
"Amazon's San Francisco AGI lab head recently said that there were fewer than 1,000 people in the world that would be "extremely valuable contributors" to building a new frontier model."
Marc Benioff expressed strong skepticism about the use of the initials AGI and described much of the current AI excitement as hypnosis. Salesforce has adopted an AI-first strategy while Benioff doubts imminent human-level artificial general intelligence. An Amazon lab head suggested fewer than 1,000 people globally would be extremely valuable contributors to frontier model development. Benioff called the title 'AGI head' an oxymoron and said AGI could happen one day but remains distant. Industry voices differ: Sam Altman said GPT-5 is not AGI because it cannot learn "continuously," and Demis Hassabis cited lack of consistency as an obstacle.
