    you’d rather make one up than work with us

    Yes? It’s nothing personal, human women, but once “having a pleasant feminine voice” is something that machines can do more efficiently than humans, why shouldn’t those machines be given the job?

      You’ve got bigger problems than labour relations when “having a pleasant feminine voice” is the success criteria you use to measure the performance of a reporter.

      I dunno, this logic sounds exactly like the fucked up logic that went on in the conference room that dreamed up this shitty idea only to have it face reality and be pulled on day one.
