Google's AI associates me with queerness and AI.
In fact, it associates me with artificial intelligence and queerness to such a degree that — and I'm not bragging —it's obvious I'm the algorithm's favorite, not-straight, AI reporter.
Apparently, I'm so queer that if you do a Google News search for "artificial intelligence queer," 30% of what the algorithm spits out was written by me.
And here's the fun part: most of those stories have nothing to do with 'queer' topics.
It's a good thing I am queer. You see, the algorithm apparently associates me with queerness because my TNW author profile lists "queer stuff" as one of my beats.
What if I wasn't queer? Who would I even call to get that fixed?
And even though I am, it still feels kind of crappy to know the algorithm reduces my existence to "queer, writes about AI."
I'm wagering it'll only get worse.
Anyway, sorry to do this to you. But the story of how I found out Google News thinks I'm the queerest reporter on the planet is way too long to tell in a newsletter.
