It’s the same thing many techbros were saying out loud when they founded gig economy companies to do their laundry, cook their food, handle their errands, and clean their homes: “now that I have $app, I don’t need a mom/wife/gf to do it anymore.” It tells you what they thought women were for, all along.
another thing about this whole CS-professors-using-LLMs discussion is that I've been hearing some of my colleagues excitedly say things like, "now that LLMs can generate good code, I don't need grad students anymore!", which horrifies me because of what it implies about how they thought of grad students this whole time: as code generation machines, I guess?
