Men Can’t Stop Faking How Much They Know About AI

Wired AI News | neutral | Published: 05:30 Oct 14, 2026 (Eastern)

A survey of over 5,400 Americans conducted by Harvard researchers reveals a gender confidence gap regarding artificial intelligence, with men displaying higher optimism and certainty than women. Notably, 53 percent of male respondents claimed to recognize Susan Milner and Craig Dalton, who are actually fictional people. While men use AI more frequently and answer factual questions about it more accurately, men and women answer incorrectly at similar rates, with women more often stating they are unsure of an answer. The study also found that men are quoted as subject experts in media coverage at a rate higher than their representation in the actual AI talent pool. Overall, men rated positive feelings toward AI higher, whereas women reported greater levels of concern, fear, and worry.

Following their previous use of Anthropic's Claude AI to reverse-engineer Adobe's Creative Cloud suite into a free open-source alternative called ArtCraft, developer Brandon Thomas has released open-source clones of Microsoft Office applications—named GridCraft, DeckCraft, and WordCraft. Available for free on ArtCraft's website, the new apps closely mimic Microsoft's originals and operate offline without requiring a subscription, while the startup sells optional AI credits powered by Google's Nano Banana Pro. The project's creators view the releases as retaliation against high subscription fees and restrictive licensing from major software companies.
