“You’re probably familiar with a few of these ‘ladies’: the default voice on most GPS systems, the computer that guides you around your voicemail, Julie the Amtrak lady. These ‘women’ assist you in your planning, help you find what you’re looking for, and, in the case of the GPS, keep you calm when you’re lost. They perform, to put it bluntly, women’s work. They don’t need bodies to do it — they aren’t hot or sexy like the cultural trope of the steamy secretary — but they aren’t cunning either, like HAL 9000. They are brains without bodies, but also without minds of their own.”
