"Stereotypes — be it gender or race — simplify complex human beings into
limited key defining traits, effectively determining and streamlining
how we interact with one other. They are in fact such a persistent
feature in society that it is not unsurprising to find these
stereotypes — gender, in particular — still perpetuated in the
artificial intelligence bots that have been produced over the years."

Currently, most AI with voices are gender stereotypes.
