Gary Marcus Criticizes 'AI Hallucinations' of Blame: Real Screenshots Falsely Called AI-Generated
GaryMarcus · x · 2026-08-23
Gary Marcus highlighted a perfect example of people falsely claiming things were made by AI.
@KatieMiller posted authentic screenshots of former OpenAI employees stating "OpenAI is nothing without its people," yet a user accused her of fabricating them with AI. Marcus noted that a simple X search would prove otherwise. He compared this atmosphere to the Salem Witch Trials, mentioning a colleague who was accused of using AI for writing a book when she only used it for proofreading.
