Gary Marcus says he'll review Jacob Coxon's CNN appearance but rejects the character attack that Coxon is an entry-level hire of only a few weeks. Per a trusted source, Coxon actually started near the end of May, not July as a hallucinating AI website and those repeating it claimed. Marcus argues Coxon can speak to culture at the two companies without being a universal expert.
