Mastodon posts by @trenchworms@eldritch.cafe:
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.”
That has nothing to do with what the post is saying, though. The claim is that techbros stopped using female names because they thought their AI could become sentient. And they’re using the “Voice assistants had female names” thing as “evidence”
Also, how many women named Bixby do you know of?
Same as the number of men: zero.
Doesn’t sound like a gendered name to me then
Agreed.
Also people absolutely tell ChatGPT and Grok and whatever what to do
