I didn't find it to be a particularly notable issue relative to the rest of the issues they mentioned. It didn't seem to be overrepresented to me... That said, it's something that is more controllable across languages. All people, in all languages, have a roughly equal distribution of genders, but not race/religion, etc. Japanese language text will have similar gender distributions to English, but likely not equal distributions discussing race. That makes it a much better litmus test for multi-lingual bias. Most of the misgendering discussion (2-3 paragraphs?) was in the translation section, which makes sense. A lot of the first classes in foundation courses learning a foreign language revolved around pronouns (which don't work the same in every language). Gender may be implied or absent in some. For example, to say "she is a doctor" in Italian, you might say "è un dottore", which has no pronoun (literally "is a doctor"). If you use google translate to make it English, "he" is added, assuming the gender. The potential for bias here is obvious, but consider that LLMs often deal with more context than a single sentence - if you're translating or writing story about a female doctor (where the gender is available contextually), you want all the use of pronouns to align where it makes sense. If a LLM didn't "understand" the pronoun in Italian, you might not recognize it, but in English, if the same person's gender was mixed across sentences, it'd be hard to read.
