The intersection of grifting and misogyny.

Linguistic question: is it misogyny if it originates from women? Reason for asking is because I genuinely don’t know if it is like racism against own race kind of situation, and the article appears to have been written by two women.
Edit: lol Lemmy showing their true colors. Would rather dodge and avoid the hard questions, downvote and continue to circle jerk themselves about anti-AI. Love it. Keep it up Lemmy!

Women are also capable of misoginy. They're statistically less inclined to be because the problems with misoginy are more tangible for them than it is for men.

So you just saw the headline and called it grifting and misogynistic without actually reading the article to understand what it's calling for?

This is garbage, positing this prediction as a conclusion.
The rest of the article is also garbage, conflating things like the lack of women in executive positions with a skills gap. Women don't have a meaningful skill gap in white collar work. They do get discriminated against.
It's all, "women use AI less therefore women should use AI more!"
Fucking garbage.

Is kind of hard to explain to anyone, "this thing cannot be trusted, but it's useful anyway."
My wife: So it's like a gaslighting machine?
Me: ... well... no, but it... fuck.

The article is advocating for empowering more women to use AI, so when AI become good in the future they would be skillful in using this technology.
To quote from the article:

This seems pointless. So what if "women are less likely to adopt this new technology"? What's the point? And how does one "master" AI even?

I'm all for it. I'm positive about AI in general. Just relating my experience trying to explain it to my wife.
