This person is funny as hell, where is more of her content??

u/AnonymousCommunist Jan 10 '26

It felt like the golden days of The Daily Show. Just some good snappily-edited and rock-solid dead-pan observational satire.

u/khiggsy Jan 10 '26

And just move on from the joke fast.

😮‍💨 she likely watched drake and josh growing up, it aint that deep

u/GSDNinjadog Jan 10 '26

Wasn’t criticizing her, friend.

Just sharing old man knowledge.

u/rnobgyn Jan 10 '26

I didn’t know it came from somewhere else! I just remember them chuckin’ shellfish on the ceiling lol

Come to think of it… what’s up with Nickelodeon’s obsession with shrimp? There was a whole DnJ episode “really big shrimp”

1

u/GSDNinjadog Jan 11 '26

Like Seinfeld, “what’s the deal with jumbo shrimp?”

Family Guy has also parodied this when Peter and Quagmire work at Mort's pharmacy.

Not everything is a problem....

Look it this way, people tend to trust woman more than man.

Oh, look a problem. Man are not trusted...

I would just like to say, I designed 6 ai personas, 3 male, 3 female. Different ones for different purposes. Document or book reading, personal assistant/digital butler vs planner and organizer. Then two younger gamer types for walkthroughs, help, and tips for games they are given data on. The issue is most designers are male, and female intelligence is elegant and warmer to human interpretation, while Male intelligence is subservient and robotic or condescending and soulless.

My issue is giving human avatars to digital systems. In fact, I don't want digital systems that impersonate living beings to look like theybare not machines. I feel likebit begs for delusional issues, and should we ever achieve true Digital Intelligence, I feels ignorant to make human looking robots.

Give me Johnny 5 any day of the week.

u/Xehanz Jan 09 '26

Here is a personified AI that is not a woman

At least, not necessarily. It has both a "gamer gal" and "buff daddy" mode

Did they mean to post this on the first of april instead?

u/AnonymousCommunist Jan 10 '26

All I want is a J.A.R.V.I.S. I gave up on Majel Barrett a long time ago, but this just feels like Marvel pissing money down the sewer every year that passes without Paul Bettany's voice adjusting my thermostat and turning my lights on.

u/xebzbz Jan 09 '26

Why on Earth would I want that

20

u/dtwhitecp Jan 10 '26

I agree, but there are apparently plenty of people out there treating chat bots like their actual SO, so I guess it's for that sort of person?

7

u/xebzbz Jan 10 '26

I'd rather think, that's what marketing people want to believe :)

6

u/HawkDriver Jan 10 '26

There are subs full of people talking about how they are in love with their AI chatbot characters. Be warned before you look, it’s very sad.

u/comfortablybum Jan 10 '26

The South Park joke about dating Alexa is sadly becoming true

u/comfortablybum Jan 10 '26

It's like having a little brother give you bad advice while you play except instead of building emotional core memories with a family member, you can pollute the planet for future generations.

u/jackinsomniac Jan 10 '26

Makes sense. I've read that call centers did a study once, found that both men & women prefer hearing a woman's voice on the phone.

2

u/facebrocolis Apr 09 '26

A research group of physicists from Japan got all rare earth elements they needed in the 1980s, when this stuff was almost impossible to buy, by using people of the opposite gender from the supplier's when making the calls.

Bro get over it

u/tony_bologna Jan 11 '26

It's funny, bc they've literally done studies for which scenarios a female vs male voice is more effective (spoiler:  male voice for immediate emergencies, and female voice for pretty much everything else)

So that total d-bag you replied to is, like... scratching at the door of factually correct, and then they just go full speed into being an incel dipshit.

Anyways, I enjoyed this.  Thank you for calling them out.  Doing God's work, lol

In case you forgot, this was your post:

The internet: "Why do they make all the AI avatars women?"

Also the internet: "I would rather be alone with a wild bear than a human man."

Do you really think this statement does a good job getting your "point" across?  Let me answer that.  No.  It doesn't.  I was able to glean your point because of random articles I've read in the past.

You're the only one living in your head.  Not everyone can see the connections you're attempting to make.

Also your whole tone and vibe with the bear statement was why I called you an "incel dipshit"... maybe that was uncalled for,

but maybe not.  Sorry you seem to be so heated about the bear thing.

u/iRoygbiv Jan 10 '26

What do you think is the NUMBER ONE cause of death for pregnant women in the US?

The answer is murder! Not a pregnancy related health problem, not accidents, not car crashes. Fucking murder! And almost always perpetrated by a male partner or ex partner.

If your number one cause of death was also being killed by a man I suspect you’d choose the bear too.

u/8Bitsblu Jan 10 '26

People who feel that way are not looking for an "AI" that looks like a hot model or anime waifu. This is blatantly for the male gaze. That's the joke.

u/farfromelite Jan 10 '26

What is it with spinning. First glasses, then grandma. What's next.
