Gary Marcus is sort of a troll, but I'm glad that someone is taking on this nonsense in a formal setting. I think that most sensible people treat it as an amusing curiosity, but it's popping up in unfortunate settings, like student essay and, of all places, peer reviews! There are some sensible uses, for example, code boiler plate, or, for that matter, more-or-less any boiler plate. And the amusing uses, like poetry, are...amusing. And at least it's not self-driving people into walls! But the concerns raised in this essay are mostly cogent, and not, by any means, the only concerns as I'm sure that the creativity of bad actors will flourish!
