Women talkin' 'bout AI
Two women examining AI through a lens of power, not just capability. Why deepfakes target women. How bias gets baked in. What tech companies aren't saying. Kimberly brings corpus linguistics; Jessica brings strategy. Both bring skepticism, feminism, research expertise, and a refusal to take the hype at face value.

When Everyone Uses AI, What’s Real Anymore?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As AI shows up everywhere, something shifts, and it becomes harder to tell what’s human and what’s generated.
In this episode, Jessica and Kimberly unpack how AI-driven convenience is reshaping education, relationships, identity, and even big systems (like markets and healthcare). They explore signaling, semiotics, and why “perfect” content can feel thin or unreal, and end with small ways to choose more human signals in a noisy world.
