super revealing of the misogyny inherent to the space that “AI assistants” stopped being given feminine-coded names the moment tech chuds thought they were developing higher levels of autonomy
“i TELL Alexa what to do. i COLLABROATE with Chudbot. i will not reflect on this hierarchy at all.”
Purely an anecdote, but one of my colleagues refers to the robot as “Claudette”. I insist on not giving it a gender or anthropomorhising it, it’s an it, and I’ll keep misgendering/deadnaming the robot forever.
I feel you. I definitely feel the Skynet/HAL route is more appropriate. I’ve started modifying my prompts to make sure the LLM does not sound like a person. How they try to be all friendly, flattering etc is so irksome.
I call it clod. That’s gender neutral.
I work with a lady who calls ChatGPT Chattiana and says she’s her best friend. Decent wordplay, terrible way to live
That’s quite sad. I hope their joking :(
