When we give AI a humanoid form, we typically choose the robot to have feminine characteristics. Are we playing on stereotypes?

    I will just add a couple of opinions to the discussion:

    1- SEX have ALWAYS driven the rise and diffusion of new technologies in a way or another

    2 - Old gender stereotypes are… OLD. Yes we will have female assistant/sexbot/app/whatever but there will be male one as well as any other kind too. Anything will be customizable in real time anyway.

    The true risk will be the “Date a robot Issue”

      That link has a typo. Says “dare” instead of “date”. I think you wanted this link: https://www.qwant.com/?l=en&q=futurama+i+dated+a+robot&t=videos&origin=suggest

      What was the paradox? From what I remember the main issue was that they were copying actually Lucy Liu.

        The issue was choosing a bot over a real partner.

        (I’ve edited paradox with issue)
