Written by: Winona Young, Staff Writer

It’s a little bit irrational to get angry at someone you barely know, let alone even met, but God, it’s easy when this someone messes with your best friend’s feelings. Anyone who has a friend with slightly questionable taste in romantic partners can understand my struggle.

Thankfully, the impromptu questionnaire did not lead to a bunch of failing grades and the lecture went forward as usual.  However, it underscored a more pressing issue with artificial intelligence (AI) use: research shows that men are more likely to adopt generative AI tools such as ChatGPT in professional settings than women. This staggering imbalance contributes to the pre-existent workplace gender...
