There are enough problems in the world and AI is so much of it that bringing gender into the conversation feels contrived. What is the point of saying "Men bad" here?

    53% vs 40% is a pretty striking difference, should we ignore that?

    Would the survey have been better if the organizers had collected zero demographic information on respondents, instead of "bringing gender into the conversation?"

    I must have missed the part where they said "men bad." Isn't that a conclusion you're drawing?

    I mean, the article ends with the following paragraph

    "Besides pretending they were knowledgeable, men were also more optimistic about AI, the survey showed — while women were more concerned and worried. Ignorance, as they say, is bliss."

    That's a pretty negatively loaded towards male ending to the whole thing I would say.
