In case anyone else is wondering - Robin is the ex-wife of another prominent linguist, George Lakoff.

Somehow GPT-5 got this badly wrong when I first asked:

  Yes — George Lakoff and Robin Lakoff are related. They are siblings.
Er, no. They were married once and divorced 50 years ago according to their Wikipedia pages.

What a fascinating semantic mistake. Is it possible being long-divorced is more similar to being siblings than we realize?

I would sincerely hope not.
