A couple of facts I can give you, interpolate what you will:
The FAA comms network has been in place since 2013. Those routers were working fine yesterday.
AI gets released, routers no work anymore.
The AI SMART system does not “do” anything, it makes recommendations to ATCs.
My pretty well-informed opinions:
The AI system most likely uses the comm network to distribute those reccos.
It was probably overloaded, with cascading impacts.

There are plenty of stereotypes for women, too, and many overlap.
The challenge isn’t that these people actually exist, the challenge is that while they are few in the general population, there’s often no way to know until you’ve wasted your time, or worse, it’s too late.
I feel fortunate I don’t have to go through that slog.
