    Let’s not over interpret things here. Siri and Alexa are both mainly voice assistants, or at least started out as such. Studies have been conducted that show people trust female voices more than male voices. So the choice of female voices was obvious, and having female names is nothing surprising.

    Also, Siri, Alexa and Cortana were seen as “intelligent” at the time, as well (or were supposed to be seen, depending on who you ask).

      Intelligent for the time, sure, but ever pitched as doing more than a Secretary that never encroaches on or gets involved with your actual job and cognitive skills? Because that’s the divide that’s being enforced: women for the menial dumb tasks and men for the serious, difficult and actually valuable and important stuff.
