  • ‘Could’ specifies a possibility of an event occurring, as opposed to no possibility.

    For example, I could have rice for dinner, however there is no way I could jump to the moon.

    When applied to the context of this conversation:

    A person born in the 90s could have had their childhood affected by the recession in the 80s. A person born in the 50s could not have had their childhood affected by the recession in the 80s.

    Could is only vague in the scope of probability; this is because it’s a confirmation of the possibility, rather than a defined probability.

    I don’t take bro to exclusively mean male. But rather a male dominated group.

    In the UK we use lads a lot; I’d say it’s probably the British equivalent (tho bro does get used here too). IE: “I’m going to the pub with the lads.” But that doesn’t mean it’s exclusively men, there’s sometimes a woman or two in the group, it’s just that it’s a male dominated group. It’s the same with women who have a female dominated group with a male member in (going to see my ladies/girlies etc…).

    All of the above still assumes a male dominated use of AI though; and According to statista that does seem to be the case. Though as time goes on, the gap will likely close.
