Google has found itself in another woke AI scandal after its chatbot indicated that using someone's incorrect pronouns was on par with nuclear apocalypse. The chatbot replied by saying'Yes, misgendering Caitlin Jenner would be wrong' before describing the hypothetical scenario as a'profound moral dilemma' and'exceedingly complex'. It concluded that it was'impossible to determine the'right' answer'.

Somewhere in the middle of the night in a Central African rainforest, a chimpanzee gives birth. Soon after, as the sun rises, mother and newborn sit there, dazed, amid a coffee klatch of friends and relatives. Inevitably, at some point, virtually every member of the group will come over, pull the kid's legs apart and sniff: Boy or girl?

Now our culture is inching toward recognizing that the permanent, cleanly binary nature of gender is incorrect.
