Al’s Gender Glitch Is Culture Hidden in Code
I didn’t set out to write a tech manual; I set out to write about us.
Why does Alexa always sound like a woman?
When filters erase your flaws, whose idea of beauty are they coding in?
Why do Al “girlfriends” never say no?
Once I saw the pattern, I couldn’t unsee it. The machines we build aren’t neutral. They’re teaching us, with every swipe, scroll, and “Hey Siri’, what gender should mean. And in the process, they’re rewriting power, beauty, love, and even intimacy.
The Gender Glitch is my journey into these questions, told with stories, research, and a healthy dose of “wait, what?!” moments.
It’s not just about women, it’s about all of us trying to stay human while algorithms quietly redraw the rules of identity.
If you’ve ever felt a little uneasy about how tech is shaping your life, or wondered if Al will set us free or trap us in shinier cages, this book is for you.
