To help us do this, we develop a lens to help us trace the harm towards women within/by AI by examining literature, film, and other media (see the figure above), and then apply the lens (also above) to current types of technologies like voice assistants to demonstrate its use.

We also make the case that the Turing test, the imitation game (see "Interlude: Can women think?" in doi.org/10.31235/osf...) rhetorically helps to form the founding historical example of Pygmalion displacement: when women computers were replaced by digital computers.

We end on asking you to use our lens where useful to note Pygmalion displacements as a first step towards escaping the cycle of sexist AI-based harm. When a parallel between women and AI is drawn, ask whom does that bait-and-switch serve?
