AI Is Not Intelligence
"Women are slower to adopt AI at work."
That's what the CNBC survey claims. Mamuna and Lola argue it's asking the wrong question entirely. They unpack the workplace double standard the survey doesn't name, why "using all the tokens" became the new performance metric, what AI slop and vibe-coded fragility actually look like, and the wedding-not-marriage metaphor for everyone shipping AI demos without a maintenance plan.
Plus: why "AI" was bad branding (they're LLMs, not intelligence), how to actually use an LLM when you're already an expert, and the painful conversation every builder is having with hopeful vibe-coders who don't know where their data should go.
