I don’t think it’s pointlessly gendered at all (but it’s definitely a stub of an article that should be much longer). That men are more likely to derive meaning from their job is 100% true, as is the fact that male-dominated industries have borne the brunt of recent layoffs, and those most affected are less likely to have the skills to adapt. All of this together absolutely puts a subset of men at higher risk of mental health issues, which makes them more vulnerable to getting caught up in fictions like those offered by AI
This seems pointlessly gendered. Lazy rabebait.
Not wrong, but the original essay this post is picking quotes from was a good read: https://www.wired.com/story/meet-the-sad-wives-of-ai/

Oh shit, I hadn’t even thought of that. That is a god damn recipe for disaster.
Rabies?!
If it convinces some people to not shove AI into other people’s faces, not bad. Even if it only targets straight men.
