> In my opinion, they should have hired a trans person, created a gender-neutral voice, and used that as the default.
Estimates for the percentage of transgender people is between 0.1% and 0.6% of the global population.
OpenAI offers 5 voices. I'd say it's perfectly statistically representative of the population.
Also the voice "Breeze" sounds gender-neutral to me.
Yeah, upon reflection, I'm not sure if my suggestion is the best.
Just, the default subservient, sexy female assistant doesn't help this technology's inclusivity.
