The funniest line from social media:
“Maybe it’s because we don’t need a computer to automate mansplaining when there’s already an excess supply produced by men,” answers one woman.
I am guessing a major factor is that a lot of industries, women often have to prove themselves to be as skilled as or more skilled than their male counterparts due to entrenched patriarchal structures. If you regularly have to prove you know how to code, you’re probably a lot less likely to rely on ChatGPT to do it for you.
I am having difficulty following this line of reasoning, can you please help clarify? Why would being forced to prove your worth dissuade you from using a productivity tool? Are you implying women likely don’t have access to use it at all, or they don’t trust the output because the stakes are too high?
The issue here is that you consider it a productivity tool whereas misogynistic managers consider it a way for women to cheat.
I guess given your response, you are asserting their managers are gatekeeping access? Do you have personal experience in that regard?
I ask because we have made a massive, and frankly dumb, push to get everyone and their mother to use ChatGPT at work, from C level down to the call centers. Our metrics show around %60 of queries come from male employees, despite only %30 of our global staff being male. Given that communications and access were given to all employees via the same global communications channels, we attributed that to more men being willing to try gimmicky new software than women, but I wonder if something else is at play…
Enough natural intelligence? 🤔
They’re unimpressed by the unceasing hype-train of magical wonderments that can never, and will never be?
It really depends on the person, my partner uses it much more than I do.
In some ways I bet it’s also just the whole “made for and by men” thing. That might be because of the AI companies being male-dominated (the tech industry is like that right now at least) but it’s also maybe just the training data. Probably most of the training material used for these AIs come from men, simply because there is more material online made by men (again, probably because the tech industry is male-dominated and lots of other cultural reasons).
It’s the same with video games. Most video games today are made by men and for men and it’s kind of a positive feedback loop since the people playing those games will be men, and those people will be more likely to get into game development. And when making a game, you go for the largest market so you go for the existing male market instead of trying to cater to women.
