> In my opinion, they should have hired a trans person, created a gender-neutral voice, and used that as the default.

Estimates for the percentage of transgender people is between 0.1% and 0.6% of the global population.

OpenAI offers 5 voices. I'd say it's perfectly statistically representative of the population.

Also the voice "Breeze" sounds gender-neutral to me.

Yeah, upon reflection, I'm not sure if my suggestion is the best.

Just, the default subservient, sexy female assistant doesn't help this technology's inclusivity.
