With technology growing every day, humans have never had it more comfortable if you're upper or middle class, but that's a different topic. Most of the general population consider themselves middle class and has access to AI techs like Siri or Alexa. For the past couple of years, you can ask Siri or Alexa for music, recipes, and even ask them to write a grocery list or schedule your calendar for you. But why are the AI tech female names and personalities? In my opinion, women are usually the ones making things happen, like grocery lists or scheduling activities. The AI tech is built for the average person and making the personality friendly and helpful like your wife or mom only makes sense.
Most AI's sexuality is not questioned because the genders are usually female or male, and they are assumed to be heterosexual. In Blade Runner, Harrison Ford's character falls in love with the replicant robot played by Sean Young. In other stories like Marvels Avengers, Scarlet Witch and Vision fall in love. Hollywood and comic book characters are not new to falling in love with an AI tech machine. In my opinion, stories are missing androgynous AI and pansexual AI. I think having more genderless AI and asexual AI in tech would be more futuristic and realistic. Media is obsessed with gender; everything has to be one or the other. Even when you are transgender people are still going to ask if you are male or female, which is extraordinarily invasive and rude. Unfortunately, most people don't understand gender and sexuality are two completely different things. If you ask Siri if she has a gender, she replies, "I don't have an answer for that." Of course, Apple would program the tech not to answer the question instead of giving Siri a genderless personality. Today society and media are even more obsessed with gender because of birthing reveals and gender stereotypes like tomboys or girly-girls, which never made sense to me. Until media and society, except there are more than two genders, AI tech can never evolve past being Siri or Alexa. Thanks for reading! Jason
