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.
