When people ask me what the phrase "artificial intelligence" means, my short answer is, it means "venture capitalists, give me some money".
But OUP asked me for a longer answer, given here and summarized in the section headings:
@emilymbender don't forget: AI is automated bias and discrimination for usual or unusual reasons.
@emilymbender been looking forward to this thank you for sharing
Preprint available from my publications page:
@emilymbender Looks great, thank you for sharing the preprint!
@emilymbender This looks great. I am eager to read your preprint, but am getting a 404 for this URL:
https://faculty.washington.edu/ebender/papers/Bender-AI-2026.pdf
@aarbrk Should be fixed now. Please try again.
@emilymbender All better! Thanks so much.

Hide, devalue and steal human labour.
@jlperuyero My dude, I am literally posting the encyclopedia entry that I wrote on this topic -- each of those headings is expanded. And yet, you feel the need to correct what I am saying? I'd be astonished at the hubris but then I remember this is Mansplainodon, so yeah.
@emilymbender
I've been following you for some time, and that should be a hint on my according with your work.
But if you take a minimal comment, intending only agreement with your message, as mansplaining, maybe you'll find useful adding some "NO INTERACTING PLEASE" banner to your account.
So sad. So many barriers, trenches, walls and barbed wires set up between real people. No wonder more and more are turning towards IA.
@jlperuyero I have no way of knowing how long anyone has been following me so can't take that as a hint, no.
I am not putting up any barriers. I am asking for you to NOT contribute to the absolute chorus of mansplaining that is mastodon.
If your intent is agreement, then acknowledge what I said rather than correcting!
@emilymbender
Adding is not correcting. Nothing that you have said sounds wrong to me. Reinforcing should be interpreted as agreement, at least in my environment. And consider that,
- english is not my mother tongue
- I've never travelled to an english speaking country
- I have to struggle with an spanish autocorrect to write this 😃
Greetings from the not-so-privileged side of the world.
Adding reads as correcting: you are saying I didn't say enough/didn't say the right thing (and saying that without reading what I posted).
I don't think the issue here is L1/L2 so much as male privilege.
You are replying to an expert on the topic and not acknowledging that expertise.
