- thinkindie 6mo agoI'm not sure in English, but in Italian, for example, Intelligenza is feminine.
- hiddencost 6mo agoObjects don't have gender in English.
- SoftTalker 6mo agoSome do, by tradition more than language rules. Ships are "she" and some people refer to their cars as "she."
- nemomarx 6mo agoYou could do something pretty interesting by looking at what pronouns people use for llms in different demographics and contexts
- fl4ppyb3ngt 6mo agoDo you think chatGPT is a he or a she
- SoftTalker 6mo agoIt's an it.
- groby_b 6mo agoProbably not the only one, but it's pretty much the least interesting thing to find jarring about the whole experiment. People anthropomorphize. Nobody really finds it "jarring" in most contexts.

- antonvs 6mo agoYes, but this is not most contexts. If you're running an "experiment" you should probably not be anthropomorphizing the machine that's being experimented with.
