If you are encouraging AI use at your organization, be aware that women are judged more harshly than men for using AI. Make sure to evaluate quality of the AI work product instead of the qualities of the employee using AI.

Women Who Use AI Seen As Incompetent; Men Who Use AI Seen As Pragmatic

A 2026 study found that when women and men use AI tools to create identical resumes, evaluators view the women as less competent, while crediting the men with initiative.

Well, all I know is that I'm using Microsoft Copilot (free) in the browser to help write a quantitative stock analysis application and the productivity boost is effing amazing. I produced a month of production quality code in 2 days, hooked to free data sources I didn't even know about before I started.

Free.

Caveat: I'm a professional software engineer and know what I'm doing. An amateur would be lost.

@amydiehl That people continue to participate in a flawed experiment in financialized LLM mis-selling bemuses me; sacrificing one's agency to machines which cannot think and merely present a crude parody of such... Kafkaesque does not begin to describe this and gender polarization is just more rationalization of poor human decision making!

@amydiehl Interesting! Men asserting their "ownership" of technology in some indirect way?

Disappointing, yet predictable according to a more general pattern:

Women Who * Seen As Incompetent; Men Who * Seen As Pragmatic.
