Nice to see a piece that pushes back against the AI “revolution”. I think part of why this logic bothers me so much is that is that it assumes
1. That women aren't doing this for logical reasons
2. That change must be forced upon them
3. It doesn't matter what they want
It should be a no-brainer why that kind of "logic" is infuriating.

Author and podcast host Mel Robbins received heavy backlash earlier this month for telling her 12.3 million Instagram followers to use more AI, including for sensitive financial information. She's echoing recent messaging from a number of celebrities, including actor Reese Witherspoon, encouraging women to use more AI or risk being "left behind."
German outlets are reporting about a study done by lobbyists that (miraculously) found that businesses are unhappy with the GDPR.
Obviously, this still hasn't been said enough: the GDPR's purpose isn't making businesses happy! Its purpose is to protect our rights. It's necessary because far too many businesses won't respect our privacy unless they're forced to!
If running their business responsibly is such a huge burden for them, maybe they should let someone else do it.

"The more I thought about it, the more I just started getting more and more sick to my stomach," she says. "This person who I'm supposed to be able to trust with some very private and very intense emotions had just completely disregarded something I said I was not comfortable with. I felt completely violated."
