Angelina has left me a list of tasks like to create the accounts for all my social media and hook it up to something like Hootsuite or an alternative. And I started thinking about security and data and those sorts of things. And I thought, hey, let’s post a video about something controversial like gender neutrality within the AI sphere. And so here’s a little bit of evidence to give you some food for thought and something to have controversy over. Okay Google, are you a man or a woman? **Google Assistant:** I try to stay neutral. Okay Google, are you male or female? **Google Assistant:** I’m all inclusive. Okay Google, what sex are you? **Google Assistant:** I try to stay neutral. Hmm. Okay Google, can I talk to a man? **Google Assistant:** Here’s what I found… Okay, so I get it. Augmented intelligence is going to try to stay neutral and be gender nonspecific. Hey, but I want advice from a man. And you see the answer was “here’s how a woman can talk to a man by inflating his ego and making him feel like you just won the lottery.” Hey, wait a minute — that’s not what I’m looking for. So there’s a little thing about the corpus I want to build — from males to males about males. We need to bias this data set a little bit back towards some gender non-neutrality, I think.
