The Good Place: Toxic Americana and Cortana
Why are AI assistants like Siri, Alexa, Cortana, and Janet ("Not a girl, not a robot") from The Good Place, almost always coded as female? And what affect does this have on real gender biases?
How does The Good Place further explore and comment on the toxic aspects of American society and culture?
We attempt to answer these questions and more in part 3 of our discussion of The Good Place.
