That doesn't prove their point, it states that customers prefer the safer sound of a female voice in voice controlled AI assistants, and that there's more training data for female voices due to this.
This has nothing to do with AI chat talking in a condescending manner.
I don’t know about your reading comprehension skills, but sure that explains why AI voices are trained on feminine voices (more recordings, old phone operators, false theories on sounding more distinct).
However, this has nothing to do with “the way women talk to devs”. Women are not a monolith, they literally make up half our species and have just as much variance as men.
Thanks for the education on women. That part was the joke! I don't know about your understanding of comedy but it plays upon stereotypes which typically hold truths about median behaviors and obviously can't be applied at individual levels. this was playing on both stereotypes of women and upon a male dominated occupation. Of course you can sit there and pick apart any joke with this arugement. "hey that's not true, not all lawyers are heartless bastards." if that's your mission, sail on I guess. That kind of vapid behavior just brings one even closer to talking like an AI though frankly.
“can’t you see i was just joking, you must not be very funny if you don’t get my joke hardy har har”
The classic defense of someone that’s just using humor as a shield for being an asshole. There are w plenty of ways to be funny that don’t involve punching down in the same old tired ways.
You can do better with your comedy career, I believe in you.
