Concerning your corner comments on the “gender genie”. I went to the Project Gutenberg home page, and found a text of “Emma”, by Jane Austen.
I copied and pasted the following text, from the beginning of the book into the genie. It concluded that the writer was male, although it was close. When I filled in that the author was actually female, the pop-up window comment was “That is one butch chick”.
It came to the same conclusion on a snippet from NRO’s Meghan Cox Gurdon.
You’re in good company.
