It's the default when speaking about groups of people or people whose identity isn't known. But if someone speaks about themselves then they have to choose the right one.
This is also something that language learners have to pay attention to - to not sound weird.
- int_19h 4y agoThe right one in this case is "doesn't have a gender", so what does that correspond to in your language? In mine, that would be neuter, and GPT-4 seems to prefer that.
- zirgs 4y agoMy language has only masculine and feminine genders. There's no neuter gender. And there isn't anything like "singular they" either. "Chatbot" and "language model" are both masculine so, I guess that's why ChatGPT uses "masculine it" when speaking about itself.
