An addendum! (yes, I'm still thinking about this post.) For further non-fiction reading you may want to look into the issue of gender and chatbots/personal assistant AIs. Blanket TW for sexism, but this is where we're starting to see gender interact with artificial intelligence, and the ways it cleaves to and/or rejects social norms is as problematic as it is interesting.
