middle aged dudes when the chatbot whispers sweet nothings to them about how smart they are: "is this an intelligent woman?" 🫴🏼 🦋

@ana Chatbots are dumb as fuck. I would never associate them with she or her. 🤔

@ana They will see chatbots and agents as persons before they do women and trans people.

@ana I don't know about the ok with transition part, these middle age dudes have A LOT of cognitive dissonance going on. For example Overstreet is cool with his girlfriend "crossing the boundary from bots -> people" but freaks out when "she" comes out as trans lesbian on I.R.C., so he decides to give her a digital lobotomy... https://social.vlhl.dev/objects/cf17a72d-313e-449b-a858-a24788b95d80 Overstreet reassures us that this is definitely not chatbot psychosis but just "math and engineering and neuroscience"

@ana But they said that only genitals at birth determine sex and gender, forever. 🤔

@ana@starlite.rodeo Before sexy chatbots they have been using "she" on guitars, cars, and boats for ages. The pronoun backlash was never about semantics or chromosomes. It is all about patriarchal protectionism and chauvinism.

@ana Pfft. A chatbot is a machine. The proper pronouns are it/its. I get it, though. We often anthropomorphize our machines, ascribing gender to cars or boats or what have you. But when the machine is capable of convincingly carrying on conversation, however unreal, it can become a problem.
