After discussing it with a few folks, the conclusion is the internet sucks some times, and so does the patriarchy and toxic masculinity, so I’ve deleted my posts asking for opinions. Thanks to those who spoke with me!
Last boosts: my wife is looking for thoughts on a situation I do not feel qualified to adequately and impartially provide feedback on. If you have thoughts, please reply to her and let her know. We’d both appreciate it.
AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
RE: https://meow.social/@ndoto/113937134390293412 boosting this again because both my wife and I have been very sick this week which means we’ve had no income unfortunately. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. :(

Somewhere during our move we seem to have lost a box of miscellaneous kitchen things, including our favorite glass from Japan. :( It’s driving me crazy, because they were the last few things I packed and I *specifically* recall packing them, but they seem to have just disappeared. Ugh.
