alt Hacker NewsNitpick, but in my opinion an LLM is an "it", not a "her" or "he". Using male or female pronouns risks anthropomorphizing them which can lead to unhealthy outcomes.

What about languages, such as Russian, where every single noun has a gender assigned (he, she or it) and AI is a he by default (and everything else is already using pronouns in similar way, like a car is a she, a ship is a he).

Well, my LLM is a "he".

Ditto for pets.

FYI in Chinese he/she/it all use the same pronoun "ta" when spoken.
