Another quote to think about (warning: explicit sexual language): > "The fact that Apple writers selected “I’d blush if I could” as Siri’s response to any verbal sexual harassment quite literally flirts with abuse. Coy, evasive responses like Alexa’s “Let’s change the topic” in response to “You are a slut” or Cortana’s “I don’t think I can help you with that” in response to “Suck my dick” reinforce stereotypes of unassertive, subservient women in service positions. We should also not overlook the puny jokes that Cortana and Google Home occasionally employed. These actions intensify rape culture by presenting indirect ambiguity as a valid response to harassment."
