This chapter discusses relationships between humans and AI virtual assistants, many of which are designed with a default female voice and whose capabilities are applied mainly to gathering and repeating encyclopedic, sundry information. This trend has been found by sociologists, journalists, and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to perpetuate harmful stereotypes of women's intelligence as incomplete or lesser. The philosophical concept of ingenium (ingenuity) from Latin literature marks the difference between animal and human (particularly male) forms of intelligence. This concept drives the chapter’s interest in the paradox between human expectations of limited intelligence of female-voiced AI virtual assistants and the human fantasy and fear that these beings possess an ingenium-like intelligence beyond their programming. The ancient Roman myth of Echo and Narcissus is the mythic fulcrum for this chapter's inquiry into human psychological dynamics inherent in relationships with AI virtual assistants, wherein the human keeper of the Amazon Echo becomes the proverbial Narcissus. When read from Freudian, Lacanian, and Jungian perspectives, this myth reveals much about human narcissism, desire, and preoccupation with mortal fragility in the age of AI, evident in modern myths explicitly about human/AI virtual assistant relationships, such as the 2013 film Her. Finally, amid current efforts from AI developers to provide male or gender-neutral voice options for AI virtual assistants, this chapter finds in its treatment of another modern myth of human/AI assistant relationships, Ray Bradbury’s “There Will Come Soft Rains,” wherein the virtual assistants are not explicitly gendered, that some key psychological power dynamics of human relationships with AI as seen in the Narcissus/Echo allegory are present regardless of the identifiable gender of the AI assistant.
