Years ago I wrote about how the fantasy of so many men in tech re: AI was to create a woman that doesn't talk back. It's not an original idea--it populates sci-fi, like Ex Machina.
But it's also an easy point to argue because so many guys will just... say it.
Sad that you ask someone in tech what they most want in the world and a lot of shitty people raise their hand and say "slaves, but I don't want to feel too icky about it."
