No, not explicitly gate keeping access. But as a woman, you have experience that tells you, if you take any shortcut or easy way out, even if all the guys do it, you will be “confirmed” as less competent. It tends to be that women start from a perceived position of “not competent” whereas men start from a preceived position of “competent.” A guy has to have some obvious mess ups to fall from that assessment whereas women have to do a lot to rebut the assumption that they’re incompetent. So, as a woman, you are constantly trying to prove yourself, and you have to avoid anything that might undercut that. Using AI could easily be one of those things that undercut it.
