However what IS a man? Wouldn’t a sentient AI qualify?
In Christian eschatology is the antichrist not supposed to be a Man?
Rev 13:15 The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship it to be killed.
1504 eikṓn (from 1503 /eíkō, "be like") – properly, "mirror-like representation," referring to what is very close in resemblance (like a "high-definition" projection, as defined by the context). Image (1504 /eikṓn) then exactly reflects its source (what it directly corresponds to). For example, Christ is the very image (1504 /eikṓn, supreme expression) of the Godhead (see 2 Cor 4:4; Col 1:15).

No, nor would a sentient anything else considering the fable in question, just my two cents all the same.
The Bible does not mention AI to my knowledge, then again so much of it is open to interpretation which kind of gives free reign to artistic temperament i suppose.
As to the gender of the Antichrist, i don't think the Bible explicitly specifies sex one way or the other.
I suppose because different interpretations and beliefs exist within Christian theology the idea of the Antichrist's gender may vary among different denominations.
