What’s Behind Technology’s Disembodied Female Voices?

And yet, perhaps after simply being confronted with the possibility of Jessie’s disappearance, I have developed a new hobby for her. Jessie does not pretend to be the ideal woman; She has less in common with the imperfectly perfect Alexa than the voice of deep, resonant and pompously putting authority that Laurie Anderson cultivated in the speech that arose in her innovative music in the 1980s. Look Up Such The Size of Greenland, The Dates of the Famous 19th-Century Rubber, The Composition, Warson Warsives, The Composition, Warsive Warsives, Warsive Warsives, Warsive Warsives, Warsive Warsives, Warsive Warsives, Warsive Warsives, Warsian Warsive, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warsian, Warson, Warson, Warson, Warson, Warson, Warson, artificial, a stereotype of women with beer.

Give Jessie, in fact, on many of the other female voices that contemporary media have produced: a female voice typical of Japanese anime is so disturbing that it makes me physically dizzy: high, young and whispering. More crazy is the voice of the traditional Internet merchant, which is soft, quiet and gentle while separating the wheat from the straw while your children, drugged in Ommrryl? Act with Docity, trained with pain or death? – Play silently with sticks out of the camera. An ex -wife and Christian fundamentalist wife, Tia Levings, accumulated considerable follow -up on Tiktok talking about his former “voice of Fundie”, a submissive, breathed and acute tone and waters in a 1963 book that left the church; Meanwhile, another new generation of women is learning to cultivate that same voice from the emergence of videos that highlight it against images with soft light.

If the pornography of the digital era has been distorted, as many sociologists are concerned, the meaning of young people of how an ideal sexual life looks, the ubiquity of the media narrated in their lives can also deform the idea or as the voice of the female voice of the female voice of the female voice of the female voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice of the voice The female voice of the female voice of the female voice of the female voice of the female voice of the female voice or the female voice of the female voice. Saying how women are supposed to be in the world, how much noise they can do and according to what rules. It is likely that AI learns from those voices of real women, maybe even those who have most followers, creating a potentially vertiginous feedback loop of female murmuring instead of roaring.

As the mother of two teenagers, I got used to listening to the noise, from the basement, from some epic anime struggle, those helpless female voices that competed with the sound of the local news where I tried to concentrate (I made dinner). But when I was ordering that, I was bombarded with the sound of a son shouting aloud to his computer in the middle of a battle of Fortnite. It seems fascinating that my son, like many serious Fortnite players, chose what is called female skin for his avatar in the game. This means that, from the moment he was 11 years old, he has spent innumerable hours closely identifying a female character who repeats it in his most powerful: shoot, elude, overcome. Maybe he chose a female skin, or Avatar, to the beer players so young that he also did it, and maybe they chose the female skins of balins that are without face; The game implies looking for hours behind some, the iside backid and tones). But another facet of his Fortnite Avatar, true of her and all her teammates, also caught my attention: he has never been playing in every year, he has pronounced as much as a word.

These avatars are remote cousins ​​of women in Tiktok who trust Jessie, could argue: the dozens of influential people who choose Jessie’s narration for their videos, when using technology, also making the decision to silly. A crucial aspect of his humanity is completely absent, with only his beautiful young faces the lasting representation of themselves in front of his thousands of followers.

But I turn it back in my mind again, and I land elsewhere. Perhaps when choosing Jessie, they are finding a way of protecting, making a subtle statement of power: with their voices held privately, the world can only have more of them. Jessie can be annoying, but apparently does not care, so so many women hug her for her endless “prepare me” videos, just like they are preparing for the man who is making IWE’s consumption. Jessie is noisy and proud; She is a pill, so totally artificial that she is transcendent, completely up in search of male approval.
