Males are known to have larger brains by volume (https://www.news-medical.net/news/20210326/Size-is-the-only-...). If this is the only explanatory variable doing the work, the AI model is completely uninteresting.



I was thinking about this too, but I don’t know how widely they overlap? Like, if (say) 30% of male brains are at least 10% smaller than the average male brain, and 30% of female brains are at least 10% larger than the average female brain, then a model that just considered volume might not be very accurate at all, because anything in the middle still has a significant chance of being either sex?
