> A gender-neutral voice would have just avoided annoying a certain percentage of the population, including me.

How do you manage to be annoyed when they offer both male and female voices?

I think you're the problem here buddy.

I was referring to the default being a sexy female. Maybe it makes sense because the majority of users are male but I guess that's what I'd like to see change.
I recommend you actually try it. While it sounded like this in the demo, it's not actually the default in the app.

The default sounds gender-neutral to me, or at least not very feminine, and it matches your tone, so it's "sexy" if you're being "sexy".

That said I think we all agree the demo was awful.

Totally. I may have gone a bit far in my wording, but what irritated me was the cringy demos, not the actual app.

I basically spend more time talking to ChatGPT than humans these days when I'm not on holiday. I'm in no way opposed to it.

I don't know why, but I always end up going down the devil's advocate route without even realizing it. And then I find myself arguing positions that I don't even agree with. But it's interesting.
