GenderGP using AI

Embracing AI content.

Seems this means they are using AI for article writing on websites. Rumours on Reddit that they are sacking staff to replace them with AI.

I wonder how the articles are generated?

This is producing content aimed at troubled children.

This isn’t a problem with AI.

Its a problem with the instructions the human is giving to AI.

The problem is still just gender ideologies pushing their ideology.

I’m pretty sure it’s been shown that AI is a gender ideologist.

The problem I've found with AI so far is that it's programmed in such a way that it pushes one narrative over another. It's programmed very much on a 'be kind' model it seems. Doesn't like producing anything that goes against TWAW and you have to reword things to such a degree to get it to produce some things that you'd be better off just writing it yourself.

And it literally clutches it's pearls if you dare ask it to produce something that it considers hateful, whether that thing is actually hateful or not.

In this case though, Gender GP will be asking AI to produce a report suitable for patients on ‘insert whatever but of gender affirming care you want it to write about’. It will do what it’s asked to.

It’s just a way of getting it to write what you would have, if you had the time.

Well, the use of ChatGPT does not seem to be going down very well.

Recent reviews on Glassdoor (my bold):

GenderGP employee reviews
— Feb 25, 2024:
Pros:

• The service users are what make the company what it is
• You can make a difference to vulnerable people's lives
• Immediate team members collaborate in an open minded, constructive way that makes the days easier

Cons:

• The company has recently dramatically changed to an extremely toxic setting where everyone has to walk on eggshells because senior management doesn't care about your opinions on the direction they're going, and they'd rather fire you. They don't want to listen to you.
• All the previous responsibilities we had in regard to customers have been flipped on its head, and we have no idea how to do the job we could do a month ago
• We are not being listened to about how our services have rapidly declined in quality and that this needs to slow down, they don't care
• Teams are gutted, overworked, anxious, and mentally unwell about the sudden changes and whims that senior management has. There is no consideration for the long-term impact it has on people's livelihoods, and it's very clear it's ultimately about ego and money to senior management
• There is no proactive approach to utilising the team's knowledge or skills for what they are or making sure changes are tested and refined before implementation to the public population
• I cannot express enough that I have never had a workplace destroy my well-being the way this company has
• Direct managers and team leads are phenomenal, but senior management is clearly out of touch with the community and detrimentally archaic in their understanding of user needs and does not care to involve anyone as they believe they know best
• They don't care about risk, or if people leave, you're just a number to them. You're simply a contractor with no rights that can be immediately replaced, no matter how long you've been with the company
• People are leaving in mass because of this and how ignorant senior management is, which should say enough
• CEO listed on their current page is not accurate
• Nepotism is a trend and it's ultimately the Webberley show, no one else matters.

Advice to Management:

• I don't know what to say that isn't clear what needs to change from the con list. It costs nothing to actually consider your contractors knowledgeable and valued.

— Feb 22, 2024: Pros:

• You get to work remotely

Cons:

• You are told you are a "contractor" when you do the work of an employee, get low pay and no benefits. This is illegal.
• The CEO happily participates in tax fraud and exploitation, and does not care about trans people.
• There is no communication or transparency, things that were promised are changed every day. Everyone is overworked, and the service is actively being made worse for patients so that the CEO (Dr Helen Webberley, not Nick Irmie, he hasn't worked at the company for months) can make loads of money off trans people. Avoid

Advice to Management:

• Listen to your workers. When everyone in the company says something isn't working, or will actively harm patients, take it seriously.

— Feb 22, 2024: Pros:

• GenderGP pay contract invoices promptly.

Cons:

• No job security offered with the company changes. No recognition when issues are spotted before they happen. Company claims to be transparent - it's not. Recent changes are harmful to an already marginalised community.

Advice to Management:

• Management need to listen to the members and employees.
• Management need to update CEO information.
• Read the GenderGP subreddit and answer the questions from prospective and current patients.

— Feb 22, 2024: PROS

• team leads and supervisors are helpful, invested in your growth and happiness
• co workers are kind, empathetic, and helpful when you need advice or guidance
• the fact it is remote is perfect for those who are carers, parents, students etc

CONS

• constant changes in business, with no communication on them, is making doing our jobs even harder
• the lack of transparency regarding where the changes are coming from with consideration of the business, along with the lack of engagement with contractors means there are now complications to what used to be an easy process
• higher ups do not listen, do not collaborate with, or seem to even know what the contractors are actually doing
• lack of clarity around what is needed to progress in the company
• no feedback gotten from users of the service before changes are made, meaning no one but the higher up gets to decide what is best for everyone

Advice to Management:

• Feedback surveys with our members to figure out what THEY want to see improved instead of just deciding what it is they want. Trans people are used to having decisions made for them with literally no input from their own experience, and it shouldn't be happening here too.

— Feb 22, 2024: Pros:

• Wonderful colleagues, remote working and the opportunity to work with an amazing community while providing much-needed support.

Cons:

• You're expected to behave like an employee while being a contractor.
• No job security - contractors are fired without warning.
• No transparency from management. Senior management cannot develop a cohesive plan and stick to it - systems and workflows are changed on a whim and services are changed or withdrawn without consultation with either team members or service users.
• New systems are implemented without being fully tested or completed.
• Senior management continually ignores feedback.
• Senior management does not seem to care about the best interests of the community which the company serves.
• The founder runs the company as a dictatorship and has damaged the management system beyond functioning.
• Blatant nepotism.

Advice to Management:

• Listen to your team members and actively engage with the community.
• Create a functioning board with representation from across the company and actively work to make improvements. Also, be receptive to feedback - currently, this is dismissed at every point.
• Continue with people-centred care and stop the current push for automation which removes the human element from everything.
• Stop the use of ChatGPT to produce content.
• Make your contractors employees with the associated responsibilities and benefits - given the requirements imposed upon team members, this should have happened long ago.

— Feb 22, 2024: Pros:

• This used to be an inspiring company where real, tangible, positive differences were made to people's lives.
• They have (in the past) provided a good standard of care to trans people.

Cons:

• The company is planning to fire the majority of it's workforce, replacing them with automation and AI.
• Company has stopped providing reduced rates to patients, even though they can clearly afford it. The new "Knowledge Base" has clearly been crafted by ChatGPT, it's unhelpful but we're forced to use it or risk being fired.
• Unclear if the company will honour notice periods or pay.
• We're all contractors despite clearly meeting the legal definition of an employee, just above minimum wage with very few benefits.
• Patients are now facing poor standards of care despite being marginalised and vulnerable, the company is trying to capitalise on them having few other options by increasing prices and reducing staffing levels, leading to higher wait times and an even poorer quality of care.

Advice to Management:

• Stop with this current plan before it's too late. Patients are already waiting weeks for responses yet you still continue on this path of destruction. Why not focus on improving care and the reputation of your company rather than increasing profits and automating jobs.

— Feb 15, 2024: Pros:

• wonderful colleagues
• diverse and inclusive atmosphere
• work at your own pace
• the managers respect you and your time

Cons:

• the company changes happen without warning
• there is no communication between company heads and workers, to the point it seems like they are not aware of what the employees actually do
• the internal processes are complicated and restrictive
• there is a lack of communication from the higher ups, they are not talking to the members or the contractors about what would make things easier and instead implementing things with no input which are just making things even harder

Advice to Management:

• Listen to your employees, take on advice, form a proper timeline for changes that is set in stone, listen when you're told that the process you've introduced has been a detriment to the company rather than an advancement

Well that's all very clear they are a shit company to work for, nepotism is rife, they'll sack you in a heartbeat, possibly committing various employment frauds and their use of chat GPT is producing shit information that the staff are forced to follow!

What a surprise!!

"AI" isn't a gender ideologist

A particular algorithm which is trained using a biased dataset will produce biased results

Some AI isnt even trained on datasets containing anything to do with gender, so "AI" as a concept is not a gender ideologist

Google Maps isnt currently telling you to "turn left because trans women are women"

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02/28/gps-transgender-clinic-urgent-safety-warning-nhs/

'In the “urgent safety alert” believed to have been issued last month and seen by The Telegraph, GPs in south east London were told that they “should not engage with Gender GP as advised by NHSE”.
It continues: “Gender GP is an offshore organisation registered in Singapore run mainly by psychiatrists.

“The company is not registered within the UK nor is it an NHS Commissioned and regulated service. Gender GP do not provide physiological or psychological support or follow up of patients.”
GPs “are strongly encouraged not to initiate prescribing and/or engage with Gender GP” on treatments for children or adults and are warned that they will not be paid for work that they do with them.
The alert concludes: “GPs are encouraged to use their clinical judgement for patients referred by Gender GP, with the guidance to refer patients requesting treatment to a commissioned NHS Provider…
“You are urged to continue to be vigilant of requests for gender affirming medications from Gender GP and advised to send in a QA should such a request be received so that we are able to track and scale the number of requests being made.”'

About fucking time.

The warning has only been issued by one Trust, not NHS England. Gender GP have said they will prescribe to under 16s without parental approval or knowledge.
