    @stancarey A few months ago, I read a Substack post by cognitive scientist and AI-critic Gary Marcus about his amusement at a use of his name as a verb. Someone using his arguments against AI had “Gary Marcus’d” someone hyping it. I tried to find GM’s post for you, but it didn’t come up in searches on his Substack.
