Look, I didn’t want to talk about this topic. I thought it was really funny, but also really sad, and I’ve taken so many victory laps in the past few months that I’m honestly starting to get winded.

I probably wouldn't normally post this here, since it's only tangentially related to women's stuff, but there was a post about Dawkins and his AI earlier and I commented about this YTer and she has made a video specifically about this.
