And yet, maybe after just dealing with the likelihood of Jessie’s collapse, I have developed a new love for her. Jessie does not pretend to be the ideal woman. She has less in common with the endlessly perfect Alexa than she makes the deep, coordinated and pompous voice of power that Laurie Anderson cultivated in speech that emerged in her innovative music in the 1980s (here is an unknown pontificator, perhaps a pensioner: Look up, such as the size of Greenland, the dates of 19th -century famous rubber, the Persian adjectives, the snow composition. “) Anderson’s voice was clearly a female based on technology to challenge the berries. Jessie could be heard as artificially sending some stereotype of the female woman. They both play with technology to announce themselves as apparently fake.
Give me Jessie, in fact, over many of the other female voices created by modern media: a typical female voice of Japanese anime is so annoying that it makes me physically – high – high, young, whispering and querulas, but in some ways sexual. More crazy is the voice of the wild popular tradwife of the internet, who is soft, calm and mild as it separates the wheat from the chaff while her kids – drugs in Benadryl? Execution of teaching, trained in death of death? – Play quietly with sticks from the camera. A former Christian fundamentalist husband and mother, Tia Levings, created a significant follow-up to Tiktok, among other things, the former “fundie voice”-a submissive, respiratory and tall, who partially made tips in a 1963 book called “Fachinating”. In the meantime, another new generation of women learn how to cultivate the same voice from the rise of videos that highlight it against images in soft light.
If the pornography of the digital age has been deformed, as many sociologists are worried, the sense of young people about what looks like an ideal sex life, the omnipresent of the narrative media in their lives may also have been distorted by what they should be what they need to hear about rules. AI is likely to learn from these real women’s voices, perhaps even those with most fans, creating a potentially gloomy feedback loop of female numbness rather than roar.
As the mother of two teenage boys, we used to listen to the noise from the basement, of an epic anime race, these helpless female voices competing with the sound of the local news I tried to focus on (as I made my own compliance with my own. But when I didn’t hear that, we bombed with a son’s sound shouting loudly on his computer in the middle of a Fortnite battle. I find it exciting that my son, like many serious Fortnite players, chose what is called female skin for his avatar in the game. This means that, once he was 11, he has spent countless hours, finding incredibly closely with a female character that represents him in his most powerful: shooting, escaping, outdated. He may have chosen a female skin or avatar, in such a young age, because the older players who also admired themselves, and may have chosen female skins because they are careless – the game implies that they look at the back of the avatar for hours (which, in the case of some skin women, is). But I have also hit another aspect of Fortnite’s Avatar, truth about her and all her peers: she has never, in all the years playing the game, gave as much as a word.
These avatars are remote Women’s Cousins ​​in Tiktok based on Jessie, I could argue: The results of the influences that choose Jessie’s narrative about their videos are, using technology, also making the choice to silence. A critical aspect of their humanity is completely absent, with only their beautiful young faces the constant representation of themselves in front of their thousands of followers.
But I turn it back to my mind and land somewhere else. Perhaps in Jessie’s choice, they find a way to protect themselves, making a delicate assurance of power: with their voices being kept private, people can only have so much of them. Jessie may be annoying, but obviously she does not care, which may be the reason why so many women embrace her for their endless videos “prepare with me” – just as they are launched for the male look, making it clear in the male ear that they are not completely packaged. Jessie is strong and proud. It is a pill, so artificial is transcendent – completely above the search for male approval.
