But if OpenAI didn’t do anything wrong, why would it take down the voice?
This almost made me stop reading. What a garbage point, if someone is offended by something I did, even if I did nothing wrong, I don’t do it to them again because I’m not an asshole. He’s clearly an asshole who tried to use her voice anyway, but this line of questioning is garbage…decent people apologize all the time when they’ve done nothing wrong, and then not do the offending thing again, without admitting guilt.
But the design choice is worrying on an ethical level. Researchers say it reinforces sexist stereotypes of women as servile beings who exist only to do someone else’s bidding — to help them, comfort them, and plump up their ego.
And this is where I stopped. If they had used a male voice, they could have argued that they were excluding women. But they did a study and picked the voice people would respond to the best. And objective choice. The author set out to find sexism, and by golly they did it. Amazing.
Yeah this is a real: “Let me find a problem and not let them apologize.” You don’t like Open AI. Ok. I’m sure you have a good reason. So focus on that and stop contriving controversy. You’re not changing any minds like that. That only gets kudos from people that already agree with you.

Why not just have both a male and female voice, and ideally one that’s as neutral as possible?
Neutral is boring? Flaws add as much character to a thing as beauty
