Edit: yes, I am extremely well aware of the conventional definition. I was deliberately offering an alternative spin in context to the parent.
Case in point: ORM can handle 80% of query plans (patterns). Some, it can't handle. They are not patterns, they are the opposite: unique and non replicable. That doesn't make them bad.
However, I disagree with headline. Just because ORM doesn't handle non pattern situations doesn't make the concept an anti pattern.
