Straight women are turning to AI to unpack text message threads, make sense of 'situationships,' and validate their romantic misery. 'my chatbot dont fw him,' as one woman puts it.
You know what’s crazy about this? The very recent rollback of the latest version. I’m SURE (like in my bones) that AI taking this position has something to do with the complaints about it being too “soft.” Who complained! What are the examples!!! So many questions…but it brings up a question about what if AI COULD be more progressive than the dominant culture, or more ethical and the dominant culture just holds AI back (rather than the worry that AI will just on its own mirror the dominant culture.)
That’s a really interesting thought. Makes me think of Grok fact-checking Elon on his own platform, ya know? The idea that this technology might actually in some ways provide checks on the men who created and funded it.
Interesting piece. I’m left wondering whether AI will benefit from the addition of women’s voices to their data trove.
Interesting. Same!
