rekams 's review for:
The New Age of Sexism
by Laura Bates
Feels like the author was after a quick payday combining her “expertise” in women’s issues/compiling gory trauma porn, with the buzzword of the week: AI. She notes how she used ChatGPT to help writing the book which A, really muddies any points she tries to make from both a moral and a logical perspective and B, fucking shows.
Overall, the whole book just gives older kid at camp who snuck into the first grader’s cabin at night to tell them scary urban myths, with little to no critical thinking or insight added.
And yes, there’s a million things wrong with the things she describes, but it’s all things to do with the *users* not the *technology*, no matter how much she claims the opposite. In the year of the lord 2025 everyone with half a brain cell agrees that Call of Duty doesn’t make children violent or shoot up schools, and the same logic extends here; flirting with ChatGPT and it flirting back won’t make anyone a rapist.
There was also a lot of conflating with anything to do with the Internet with “AI” in this book, which you’d expect even someone writing a book about AI to be able to tell apart. The people stealing Jennifer Lawrence’s nudes and putting them up online belong in prison but this has literally nothing to do with AI…
I regret wasting a month worth of Spotify audiobook credits on this book.
