    AI has uses in the medical, scientific, and disabled communities. I’ve seen it helping blind people with shopping, with Google glasses or whatever reporting what they’ve picked up and describing it to them. It can also identify/predict cancer tissue early.

    Generative AI is peak laziness and the death of human creativity. Using AI for companionship has a nasty effect on mental health.

    AI should have only ever been an assistant in medical/scientific research in my opinion, simply because it’s so damaging to the environment, economy, and society.

    As a woman, I don’t tend to care too much about gendered groups. I’m of the opinion that if somebody doesn’t want me there, I don’t want to be there.

    Depending on the context of the group, there’s a valid reason for their existence, for example pregnancy groups (probably sex-exclusive though?) as I don’t really see what a male/man would get out of it.

    I’m sure similarly valid groups exist for men, but I can’t think of any right now.

    I tend to be more okay with women’s only spaces just because they feel safe – due to certain men displaying overtly and unwanted sexual desires and seemingly just unable to control themselves, which can be uncomfortable or trigger traumas – so naturally I believe men should be entitled to their own spaces as well.

    My personal preference is mixed groups, but if someone wants a gender-exclusive safe space that’s their business and I don’t think that should be denied to them. If the purpose of the group is that they’re sexiest, I honestly don’t know why the opposite gender would want to hang around them anyway.
