Chills! Beautifully said, and really sad to confront! This part is poetry: “Talmud in Tractate Shabbat, the Torah was not given to the ministering angels, precisely because angels lack bodies and the associated physical needs and desires. Torah was designed for human beings, with all our flaws and limitations. Before considering the merits of disembodied Torah, we should make sure that the Torah of all bodies is being heard and championed.”
I'm unsure if AI is given the credit you're choosing to see it has. To me, Znius seems conceptually orthogonal to AI. Additionally, we might transition into a world where AI's are seen as human-like, maybe some of us are already there now, but currently many of MO/UO discussions around AI see it as a tool ותו לא.
Is there anyone in the MO who says a good argument written by a woman cannot be used in study? I don't think so. Everything an AI can do in terms of study, a woman can already do too. Everything a woman cannot do (certain forms of leadership, worship, public presence), an AI cannot do either. And of course a woman can do many things than an AI cannot do. So I think it's false to say that that "AI has leapfrogged women" in the MO community.

Anyway, never thought about this angle - so thx!

Compelling argument wrapped in a thought provoking package!
Very interesting piece! Reminds me of the broader lack of representation in the AI-development space...
