Artificial Intelligence and Gender Identity

It seems that the certainties of yesteryear are being eroded in ways that boggle the mind. It’s one thing for teenagers to choose their pronouns now, it’s something completely different for AI to presume a masculine pronoun even when narrating a video. So many times, I hear a ‘he/him’ when logically I should be hearing a ‘she/her’. I find it very off-putting. It’s one of the reasons that I will stop watching a video immediately if I encounter that kind of misidentification.

Why can’t we have real human voices reading a properly prepared script? It’s a slippery slope, folks.
