Why Siri, Alexa, & Every Other AI Voice Has Been Feminine

[kestrell]

Kes: I like that this article by Motherboard gets into the larger implications of how this affects women in technology, but I'm always surprised that no one ever comments that these voices are not just feminine, they are ultra-feminine, and sometimes, such as the voice for the elevator that was in the hotel where WisCon used to be hosted, even sounded like a Stepford wife on valium, wich really creeped me out.
