Fascinating AI Text Analysis, or Weird PC Project? Either Way, Looks Interesting

"BookBlog: The Gender Genie" wants you to help them out. Apparently there's a plurality of genies. First, "complete our demographic survey. Your participation is much appreciated. Thanks!"

Apparently, there's software that can presumably "predict the gender of an author."

Sounds fascinating. The Gender Genie also invites you to read more at the BookBlog, The New York Times, and The Guardian. I'm not sure what the editorial stand of those publications is, regarding alleged differences between "genders." Odd: when I was growing up, people had "sexes," not "genders." Maybe "gender" is nice, and "sex" is naughty now.
