super revealing of the misogyny inherent to the space that "AI assistants" stopped being given feminine-coded names the moment tech chuds thought they were developing higher levels of autonomy
"i TELL Alexa what to do. i COLLABROATE with Chudbot. i will not reflect on this hierarchy at all."
Yeah but also is a heavy counterpoint to the point in the post, because Cortana was already a "higher level of autonomy" AI in her first depiction (Halo games), from the start, and Microsoft named it after the character because Microsoft bought Halo and was just doing a nod to the character... So thats literally an outright counterpoint to whatever mental gymnastics the poster of the post was doing...
