Today in AI Is Not A Good Source For Learning About The World's Most Misunderstood Body Part, meet this ChatGPT gem.

Funnily enough, we're actually going to talk about how most of this is kinda sorta right (for small values of right), as a cautionary tale about generative AI.

Screenshot of a reddit post: ChatGPT asked if I wanted a diagram of what's going on inside my pregnant belly.

A screenshot of ChatGPT's response. It is a side view of a foetus gestating in the uterus. The foetus is head-up with no umbilical cord or placenta. Behind the uterus is the rectum, which is unlabelled. Trailing down from between the rectum and spine, extending beneath the buttocks to the inner thigh is a yellow line labelled "pudendal nerve. At the front is an oval-shaped part labelled "cervix". And then we really struggle to image describe this bit. The uterus and the bladder are both attached to a single part which is long inside, then extends downwards into a penis with a single exist. This penis is labelled "rectum".

À Montmartre, en 1935, une femme se présente aux municipales.
Son nom ? Louise Weiss.
Elle n’a aucune chance d’être élue, elle est inéligible.
Mais elle veut prouver une chose : tant qu’on les en empêche, les femmes feront de leur exclusion un événement.

Alors qu'on attend des jeunes chercheur·euses qu’ils et elles publient toujours plus et plus vite (en plus de la thèse!), poser la question de l'effet des maternités sur les parcours de recherche me semble essentiel.
Heureuse de voir cette table ronde avoir lieu!!
