In the past, it used to be called Intuition, and was looked down on as feminine and unreliable. But intuition is quite similar to making use of a highly-trained neural network that's not amenable to introspection because it's an advanced filter rather than a discrete chain of syllogisms, and we have suddenly developed a lot more respect for those.

I’m not sure what shaped your view of “the past”, but gut instinct is a very visceral and touted drive inherent in most people in most of history and isn’t more-so described as an unreliable feminine trait.

Hate to be that guy, but, citation?

This strikes me as the casual reframing through the eyes of an imagined arch-misogynist that has become so commonplace when reflecting on the past (which was a very different time than the present, but which enabled the present [despite the also-popular idea that we've come to our present place in spite of the past]).

Happy to be shown to be incorrect.
