    I don’t take bro to exclusively mean male. But rather a male dominated group.

    In the UK we use lads a lot; I’d say it’s probably the British equivalent (tho bro does get used here too). IE: “I’m going to the pub with the lads.” But that doesn’t mean it’s exclusively men, there’s sometimes a woman or two in the group, it’s just that it’s a male dominated group. It’s the same with women who have a female dominated group with a male member in (going to see my ladies/girlies etc…).

    All of the above still assumes a male dominated use of AI though; and According to statista that does seem to be the case. Though as time goes on, the gap will likely close.


  • Personally I avoid using autocorrect for the same reason I avoid using a calculator for mundane calculations. I ascribe to the belief that your brain works in the same way a muscle does; that is, if you don’t use it… you lose it.

    In many instances, autocorrect can be a god send (someone with dyslexia no doubt finds it invaluable for example), but for the layperson, my opinion is that it’s just another tool that promotes laziness, and a lack of thought around grammar/spelling etc.

    I’m not suggesting my way is the correct approach, but rather offering an alternative viewpoint as to why some people disable assistance tools such as autocorrect.
