However, based on Gary Marcus's well-documented public commentary on this topic, here is a knowledge base summary drawn from his broader body of work:

AI critic and NYU professor Gary Marcus has consistently argued that OpenAI has drifted from its original nonprofit mission of developing AI "for the benefit of humanity, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return," toward prioritizing massive commercial returns and investor interests. Marcus contends that OpenAI quietly dropped key language from its founding mission — including references to its nonprofit status, open-source commitments, and financial disinterestedness — signaling a fundamental shift in priorities. He warns that as generative AI's practical limitations become clear, OpenAI and similar companies may increasingly monetize user data, posing broader risks to society.
