I agree with the widely expressed concern that the ubiquity of AIs gendered as female is reinforcing gender stereotypes. Even those x.ai now has a male version (Andrew), it came late (it was’t an option when I joined the beta) and represents a small minority of their users.

That said, I understand the desire to humanize AIs, and gender is part of what makes us human. I just wish we could approach humanization without reinforcing some of the worst traits of humanity.
