I bet Suckerbug has already swiped all of McLuhan’s copyrighted materials. Perhaps McLuhan’s estate can join in the class action suit.

Several Marshall McLuhan AI chatbots exist, but they require signups to chat so I didn't bother 😆
Do you remember this from Wired in 1996?
"About a year ago, someone calling himself Marshall McLuhan began posting anonymously on a popular mailing list ... Gary Wolf began a correspondence ... One after another, tiny hints, confirmed by third parties close to McLuhan decades ago, convinced Wolf that if the poster was not McLuhan himself, it was a bot programmed with an eerie command of McLuhan's life and inimitable perspective. ..." https://www.wired.com/1996/01/channeling

It's just like, "Is this particular one by the real Dutch Master, or is it by one of his studio staff?" sort of deal.
