So many layers to this finding; does the bias of users toward a female-voiced #vui reinforce the choice to make #voicefirst devices female, or is it the result of their prevalence?https://twitter.com/scotwestwater/status/1182319086782550016 …

Andy, thank you! Based on all the interest around this topic, I think I will write a more complete
@Quora on this. The academic studies go quite far but the brain activity activations hearing a female voice is really conclusive: female voice is the voice of authority and more.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

I suspect the voices of Orson Welles, James Earl Jones, Morgan Freeman and Walter Cronkite might provide some pushback on that assertion.

I hear ya, You know this is where recent cultural shifts that started after the industrial revolution have taken hold. It was the final blow to the Matriarchy turned to a full Patriarchy. If we didn't listen to mom’s we simply would not be here. Her authoritative voice was final.

Either way, I don't see why users should have to be relegated to just one voice chosen by some big corporate entity? What prevents a user from using any voice they want? Is it a technical issue currently?

Great question. It is the folly of the some platforms not thinking about what #VoiceFirst truly is and will become. By painting themselves into a corner with a “stock” voice with overt celebrities showing up, they will make this nearly impossible because of the thinking at play.
