#LLM proponents are disproportionately male, while critics or people who take a more sceptical stance do tend to be, in aggregate, more female and less binary in #gender on the whole. Sometimes this is innocuous, but other times it leads to things like Kat Marchin being driven off the internet thanks to relentless death threats over the Openslopware project. The point is that there's a noticeable asymmetry in the people who are for the use of coding agents as opposed to those who have a warier attitude to the tech, and that this asymmetry isn't exactly innocuous.
