Beep, Boop, They/Them: The Robot Pronoun Debate

In this episode of DevLand Diaries, we dissect the bizarre yet telling conversation around robot pronouns and AI identity. Why are Big Tech companies programming AI with gender? Is this a step toward inclusivity, or just another way to manipulate human perception? From Alexa’s default femininity to nonbinary AI voices, we’ll explore the politics of coding identity into machines, the corporate incentives behind it, and whether the push for “inclusive AI” is genuine or just a convenient distraction from the real issues in artificial intelligence. Are we shaping AI, or is AI reshaping us? Tune in as we pull back the curtain on the intersection of language, tech, and control.
