There are more openly anti AI women than men, so if you see manels (panels of all men) or events where there are very few or no women involved on the academic speaking side (not in the organisation/teaching), it's safe to conclude that there is something very strange afoot to say the least. https://olivia.science/cryptogyny 1/n

@olivia@scholar.social Additional aspect maybe: Dr Cat Hicks has written about the AI skill treat and how underrepresented groups (like women) and how the opportunity gaps show up. People from these groups judge the output of AI models to be of lower quality than members of the majority (aka mostly white cishet men) and are less likely to seek out ways to improve these skills. PS: I resisted to call the models stochastic parrots for clearity. But that's how I think about them.

This has been happening for a long time: this is why we already coined "manel" and so many other related terms, like cryptogyny above, to trace and deal with this form of sexism. As with everything under AI, this is turbo charged by the technology because its logics are themselves superficial. https://olivia.science/entryism 2/n
