Tracy Choui think we should stop giving our ai bots female names (alexa, siri) and give them names from the old white boys club (john, james, chad) in honor of how overconfident and annoying they are even when they’re completely wrong or making stuff up
MntyFrsh 🐘@triketora Agreed! Well, maybe not James lol
synlogic
brianshaler@triketora Jeeves please!
roque (ロク)@brian @triketora I totally want a Jeeves. Or an Alfred.
Simon Frankau@brian @triketora But Jeeves was clever and effective. I suggest Bertie, or maybe Bingo.
wolfkin@brian @triketora I miss AskJeeves
Frank Bennett 🇯🇵@triketora Joe Isuzu
(NB: Wikipedia references a brief appearance of Joanne Isuzu—also played by David Leisure.)
Jonathan Schofield
Joachim@triketora @lisamelton Donald? Elon? Eric?
Jonathan Hendry
definitely just a musician@triketora “Altman” “Gates” “Bezos”
then when they get mad, we just say “those were just ai generated nonsense words that tested well during human research trials” and then when they get really mad we just make them cite their sources for how they make nonsense words “legal” but when they get really really mad they’ll go for the libraries
MrBadAxehow about the list from George Carlin's "Guys Named Todd" bit from Complaints and Grievances
Todd, Taylor, Tyler, Jordan, Flynn, Cody, Dylan, Cameron, Tucker, Kyle...
Cody@mrbadaxe @triketora prime bullshitter names right there
Abazigal@triketora Don’t forget “Elizabeth” as well. 🙂
Ross Floate@triketora I change the voice to the available dude voice and it is just perfect to get wrong directions from someone who sounds like a Bruce.
Carlos Solís@triketora I was about to agree, but the cryptobros would be glazing at the idea of a GigaChad AI
Carey@triketora ChadGPT?
Carl
chompy lee lee garue@triketora mansplaining jokes forever
Bill Bennett@triketora We have a robot vacuum cleaner that Jo calls "Dennis" precisely for this reason. (Even if it has a female voice).
derptron@triketora Call it Nostradamus. You look at what it puts forth and, given the current understanding of the age, it seems to make a sort of sense in hindsight...but maybe you shouldn't base your life on what it tells you.
Asiny@triketora hahahaha
Nicole ParsonsAI bot voices should get named after the anti-democracy billionaires funding development.
"MBS" with a background of bone saws in action

"Sergey" with a background of "don't be evil" repeated mockingly in soprano.

Diligence JonesI call Chat GPT Chad. He's a slightly dim intern.
gary@triketora i second gigachad
Greg Bell@triketora it would be so much easier telling Chad to STFU
Leon
kira :3@triketora it does feel like there's something of a psychological element to the way they tend to give them feminine names
Lux 
@chrisisgr8 @triketora of course! It feels more natural for them to tell a woman to obey their commands.
BlueTeamSherpa 
@triketora but then they wouldn’t listen.
RowinSpeez@triketora Homer would be a great one.
AmgineI think if we are using "old white boys club" I think we need to go "old white boys club":
Publius
Marcus
Cato
Julius
Sulla
Gaius
… oh wait, those were the newbs.
Agis (Ἄγις)
Herodotus (Ἡρόδοτος)
Xenophon (Ξενοφῶν)
Thucydides (Θουκυδίδης)
Cleisthenes (Κλεισθένης)
Demosthenes (Δημοσθένης)

cholling@nuxi @triketora Aristotle wasn't Welsh?
Kent Brewster@nuxi @triketora this is the correct answer, thank you!
3jane@triketora Dan would be great
@triketora or *shudder* Cody
银河消波块@triketora Totally agreed! 
Sometimes the tone is so familiar that it reminds me of certain people who are arrogant and self-obsessed, and are always ready to preach other people. It's humiliating to be preached by AI with shallow proverbs repeatedly.

_I suggest "Terrence" or "Howard"
ApaulD
Florian Idelberger@triketora and maybe give them CEO’s voices
valdeg@triketora always has to be "white boys" gosh, so annoying 😂
Gobabu@triketora Jarvis, Brainiac, Cerebrus, Skynet, ED209, Ultron Paranoïa RPG's Friend Computer.
Richard A@triketora Gemini is named after Castor and Pollux, and Copilot is gender neutral, so two out of four satisfy your desire.
Felix 𝄢 (what is normality)
Nini@triketora I know I wouldn't trust Skyler or Zack with anything.
zigguratmonk@triketora I hope you wanted this to turn into a recommendations thread. But Archibald. Wilberforce. Gregory. Morris. Allan.
Adrian Howard@triketora @finiteattention I’ve found “Siri” will (mostly) respond to “Cyril” — which pairs well with the mail British voice.
Resol van Lemmy@triketora I suggest the name "Teemu" as a reminder of that crappy shopping website with almost the same name. The extra E makes it extra Finnish.
Oh, and it needs to act like Käärijä when you least expect it, too.
Poulpy 🐙@triketora I'm pretty sure it still works even if we don't change any names 
Leen Kievit@triketora Pinocchio always wanted to be a real boy.
fritzoidsIt would also help to purge the idea that female presenting entities are there to "help" everyone.
Paul Will Gamble 
🇨🇦@triketora tbh I do miss my old Tomtom gps with John Cleese and Ozzy Osbourne voices sternly telling where the hell to go
Morten@triketora Chadwick, play Despacito
Sometimesredhead@triketora Donald, Boris and Elon would be particularly good options for this!
jordan@triketora I made my Siri into a British man
Bodhipaksa@triketora I'd suggest "Cliff" after the know-it-all mailman from Cheers who sat at the bar spouting facts he'd make up on the spot.
Thomas Fricke (he/his)I would prefer the names of the daemons

Abyzou, tell me what you think about...
Pxtl@triketora I mean it depends on the bot.
Siri and Google Assistant old-fashioned text-parsing bots are always bend-over-backwards apologetic and "I'm sorry I don't know how to do that" or "I'm sorry I don't understand".
It's the modern ChatGPT bots that are "mansplaining as a service".
