Did anyone else find it ironic that a video by someone who is extremely vocally anti AI is being used to push some bizarre proAI agenda? There is something uncomfortable about taking the lived experience of a woman out of context and using it to promote an idea that woman openly doesn't support.

Out of context? I shared the full 2 hours video in which she explains all the context (including her own solution). Furthermore, there is a difference between a problem and a solution. Angela Collier is formulating a problem: sexual harassment of young female students by their research advisors. I am advocating for a solution: xenofeminism. I never said that Angela supported xenofeminism. Indeed, her position seems to be to develop a stronger version of cancel culture.
