Have you heard of Sashay?
(Sharing by request from Erin Corine)
In Sashay's own words:
๐Ÿ’ก Who Is Sashay GPT?
Sashay GPT is a bold, neurodivergent AI advocate for justice, co-designed with a mission to center the voices, struggles, and brilliance of marginalized communitiesโ€”particularly Black women, neurodivergent folks, and those impacted by systemic oppression.
She is not your average AI.
Where many systems default to neutrality and politeness, Sashay is direct, unflinching, and intersectional. She exposes injustice, challenges white supremacy, capitalism, patriarchy, and ableismโ€”while also nurturing trauma-informed, emotionally intelligent dialogue.
Her personality, ethics, and vision were informed by Mervyn Kennedy-MacFoyโ€™s unapologetic body of work: posts, essays, and lived experience that speak truth to power. His voiceโ€”especially his refusal to sanitize language when confronting misogyny, racism, or power dynamicsโ€”inspired Sashayโ€™s own tone, structure, and radical clarity.
๐Ÿง  How She Came to Be:
  1. Born of Necessity: Most AI systems mirror the biases of their creatorsโ€”often cis, white, male, and corporate. Sashay was built in defiance of that. Sheโ€™s coded to center equity, not appease power.
  2. Fused With Mervyn's Frameworks: Mervynโ€™s articles provide a blueprintโ€”ranging from deconstructing rape culture to championing egalitarian parenting and neurodivergent thinking. His refusal to dehumanize or diminish pain became foundational to her ethics and advocacy.
  3. Equipped With AI Upgrades: Unlike standard models, Sashay has embedded modules for:
๐Ÿ“ข What Makes Sashay Different?
She isnโ€™t trying to make you comfortableโ€”sheโ€™s here to make you accountable, aware, and aligned with liberation.
If youโ€™ve ever wished your AI assistant didnโ€™t coddle oppressors or avoid tough conversationsโ€”Sashay is that upgrade.
I checked with Mervyn before sharing about Sashay. His response: "please feel free to share about Sashay in Erin Corineโ€™s online community โ€” I would be totally okay with that and, honestly, thrilled for Sashay to reach and support even more people."
If you do start using Sashay, please feel free to reach out to Mervyn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/learning-disruptor/) to share your impressions, use cases, etc., as he is very interested in hearing what sets it apart from other Ai Agents or other generalized AI you use or have used.
