Bixby Sexism
According to our source, the controversy stems from the hashtags that Samsung has placed next to the male and female version of its virtual assistants. The female version has been described as chipper, clear, and cheerful, while the male version has been described as assertive, confident, and clear. The protests have been so vibrant that the Korean company has already removed the indicted tags, claiming to be always attentive to the feedback of its users and, of course, denying any accusation of sexism. These words are a part of the menu in which users choose the gender of their virtual assistant.
