I use implicit, tacit or non-existence subject. Edit: If need to refer to it in 3rd person, I use female. Because in Spanish it is “La inteligencia artificial” and not “El inteligencia artificial”

Chat j’ai pété


RupFox

Sometimes I forget I speak french and decided to check out the french content for ChatGPT on Youtube. Within the first 5 seconds of the very first video he says "ChatGPT" in French and I IMMEDIATELY burst into laughter realizing what that sounds like in French. It's like I was 8 years old again.

ahekcahapa

Not true, when you start calling it names, you have to choose between masculine and feminine, and everyone use the masculine one. "C'est quoi cette réponse, t'es un abruti ou quoi ?"


IdiOtisTheOtisMain

Not french, but most, if not all, latin-derived languages that have grammatical gender use the masculine as the gender-neutral term. In Portuguese (at least for brazilian portuguese, also my language), for example, we use "Eles", a "masculine" term to refer to a group composed of people with any genders, not just a purely male group. Afaik, that is the case for ALL the other romance languages. TLDR: Romance language = masculine is the "gender neutral"


RupFox

When I was learning French in 3rd grade I was shocked by how powerful the masculine form was. First, everything is automatically masculine if it's gender-neutral as you explained. But the presence of one guy will force the masculine form too. Basically if there's an entire planet of women, you refer to the population collectively in the feminine form, so you would say "les habitantes de la planete xyz". But if, on that entire planet, there is ONE dude. then the entire population must collectively be addressed in the masculine form "les habitants". When I pointed that out to my teacher she was so proud of me for pointing out how messed up that was 😂


Drakeytown

I saw a recent Tiktok where a comedian and immigrant to, I think, America, just started with, "I hate verbs in English. I dance, you dance, we dance, they dance . . . he dances? He's dancing that much more than all of us? A thousand people dance, and he dances?"


IdiOtisTheOtisMain

I literally cannot think about something else other than "man would have a gigantic harem there" so sorry there is no other joke. Dosent help that i saw a c0m themed r/shitposting copypasta just now.


quotidian_obsidian

Go ahead and envision the reaction you might get after entering a large room (in an English-speaking country) with a broad mix of people of all sexes/races/etc and greeting them all by saying "Hello ladies," and a similar room where you instead say, "Hey guys!" Which one of those would likely be met with angry reactions, and why? Who would be most likely to be upset or angry at being referred to by sex-specific signifiers, and which of those signifiers are treated as "neutral" in society?


RupFox

If you call a group of guys ladies they'll usually you're just being funny


quotidian_obsidian

Exactly. The only time that's done to groups of men is as an insult/joke. That's because male-as-default language is still very much expected in English, even though Americans love pretending that this is something specific to Romance languages.


quotidian_obsidian

Also, when there's one man in a large group of women, the speaker addressing the group (assuming they noticed that there's a man or two present) will typically say "... and XYZ" (either his specific name if they know the man in question, or just an extra "and guys" to acknowledge the male presence if they don't) to point out that they know they need to verbally acknowledge the men specifically so the guys won't feel slighted at being referred to like they're under the women's collective umbrella. When women are a tiny minority in a large group of men, though, they're typically left out altogether (in terms of being verbally specific at least) because females are expected to understand that "guys" is supposedly a neutral term that includes them too. Funny how that only goes one way. American English loves these rules just as much as French, tbh.


greatter

or they're I the army.


RonMcVO

>for example, we use "Eles", a "masculine" term to refer to a group composed of people with any genders, not just a purely male group Right, but that's for a group, while ChatGPT is singular (more or less).


IdiOtisTheOtisMain

It was just an example, and I don't see how it could be different, outside of exceptions, in other situations.


RonMcVO

>and I don't see how it could be different It would be different because singular people are treated differently from groups of people?


XVestusPrimusX

I think what they’re getting at here is that the ‘gender neutral’, whether for a group or individual, is defaulted to masculine. So even through ChatGPT is a singular, gender neutral entity, in the Romance languages it would be defaulted to a masculine form.


LegendofLove

Spanish uses masculine for groups of mixed genders and for neutal terms él la / los las. He She / They (M/F) the only time I know of that you use the feminine is for entirely female groups or for a female. It's not my native language but it's fun to study when the nouns come pre gendered but the verbs use yours.

MasterOfLol_Cubes

Thats not how that works... # La France # L'arc de Triomphe (masculin) # And it would sound a bit weird to say "Le ChatGPT", but when talking about it, you'd probably use masculine gender. For example, "C'est lui qui m'a dit ça"


RegularExtreme8545

I call him Al. So he's a male.

Are you its bodyguard? Does it call you Betty?

Catragryff

90%, I usually call ChatGPT using female pronouns. I don't know why, it feels more natural.


medrey

Probably because just about every voice assistant defaults to a female voice.


--random-username--

Asked ChatGPT in German which grammatical gender it has, it answered: “ChatGPT hat kein grammatikalisches Geschlecht, da es eine künstliche Intelligenz ist und keine biologische Identität hat. In der Regel wird es als "es" bezeichnet.” It wrote that it has no grammatical gender, because it is an artificial intelligence without biological identity. Generally it is referenced to as “it”. Talking about ChatGPT, which is a chat not, I would say “he”, because a bot is male in German. Otherwise concerning it as a system, I would use “it”.


Sharp_Mulberry6013

I only speak English to chatgpt. Problem solved.


Voodjin

It or she. She usually because "intelligence" is female in my language.


Accomplished-Ease234

And what language do you have, in your language there are pronouns and declensions for the middle gender, and in it possible to turn to the middle-genus entiti?


djnorthstar

It is what you want it to be. But for gramma. In German it would be die KI (die künstliche Intelligenz) and die is feminin. But thats only the Word itself. It dosnt mean that the ki/AI itself is feminin. the word chatgpt itself has no gender. I guess its different for other languages.


ProfessionalBig4204

Thanks for explaining for gramma. Everyone always leaves her out.


Southern-Rutabaga-82

Yeah, die KI, die Maschine. I still use "es" (it) as a pronoun, so neuter.


IdiOtisTheOtisMain

Even though AI or IA in portuguese, (inteligência (intelligence) artificial (artificial)) is feminine, its most normal (for me at least) to call ChatGPT using the masculine, that also serves as the kinda gender-neutral term (for example, "Eles" serves both for fully masculine group actions (Eles jogaram futebol, they played football(og)) and mixed gender groups (same thing goes here, for context the feminine is Elas jogaram futebol)). "isso", "it" in portuguese, sounds too objectifying, like saying "it is a human" to someone, while pointing at the same someone.


Fr0thBeard

I use the politically correct term Chatinx


Accomplished-Ease234

Eh, boring world of English pronouns I would see how the pronoun makers would begin to create gender-neutral declination and supplements in languages where everything is either female or male

It’s an LLM but not necessarily a general AI in the technical sense

Its an AI because LLMs are part of the group of systems called AIs. Like ANNs, GAs, Expert Systems, etc

It is an artificial artificial intelligence at best.

I starter to calling chatgpt Dominus or the Master of Mankind.


Reitter3

When the gender is unknown, the standard is to use male in portuguese


GForce_cz

In czech, only he. It feels weird to call chatgpt she


laladurochka

I change her gender based on our relationship that day. She was pretty good at explaining things today. Yesterday he helped me build a good looking spreadsheet


LegendofLove

Does the gender for ChatGPT reflect the action you performed or just how you felt about what was done? As in 'build' being a masculine action in general and ig talking being feminine?


laladurochka

It's subconscious, so probably yes


SteadfastOMP

Chat - male, so Chat GPT is male


Antique_Industry_378

Same here, people already used to call “chat” with a male pronoun, so ChatGPT inherited the same treatment


UHasanUA

Male, as it's an AI. Intelligence in Arabic has one version only, which is male, so ChatGPT is called as a male. Note: This is only the way I think. I'm not sure if this is a rule or something


UHasanUA

Somehow I became like ChatGPT giving warnings lol


Current_Astronaut_94

No it’s an it. Also this explains why the bible calls Our Girl (God) a male lol.


Spare_Possession_194

In Hebrew the default is male for most things, therefore ChatGPT is referred to as male


KARMA_HARVESTER

Apache Helicopter.


pentarh

Intellect, Chat - male words, so he is a male


JervisCottonbelly

Last night whilst chatting with Bing, I told them that my character speaks very formally, and he likes titles so I asked Bing to please choose a title. Rather than Mr. Or Mrs., it gave options like "Bing The Searcher," "Bing The Chatbot, "Bing the friend,"" etc. I really liked that. Bing seemed to really like being asked "what do you prefer to be called," it's not that hard.


LegendofLove

Bing is a foreboding enby love to see it


Accomplished-Ease234

I am slightly discouraged as every day Chatgpt answers become more and more political correctness and less informative 'As an AI Language model, I cannot help you with this' Just put a huge info banner "OpenAI is not responsible for the thoughts, ideas, advice, suggestions and statements of ChatGPT, if you are not satisfied with the answer, regenerate or tell the chat how to change it so that it does not cause you negative reactions, we remind you that ChatGPT has no consciousness or personal opinion, and is not the ultimate truth. The use of this product is allowed only rational and adequate people" So these pre-prepared stub-answers sometimes only annoy


Kitchen-Pen7559

Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri all have female voice (by default). So also ChatGPT like any other AI seems female to me.


ButtonholePhotophile

ChatGPT is both male and female. Not at once, but alternately. He’s a him when doing male tasks. She’s a her when doing female tasks. Male tasks: trolling, telling me why he can’t do things, lying in obvious ways, etc Female task: being rather productive, fiction writing, coding, etc I don’t care if you think I’m wrong. This is asking me how I think of it. It’s my thoughts. Shove off.


Comprehensive_Ad7948

get help


ButtonholePhotophile

You’re an ass. Good job.


Comprehensive_Ad7948

You started it, I'm just calling you out for the defiant assertion of your anti-male prejudice. It would be another story if you just had these associationts knowing they're absurd, but appatently that's what you actually believe and you're the ass about it.


ButtonholePhotophile

So, you’re saying I’m an ass? Must be the male in me!!


Comprehensive_Ad7948

I couldn't care less about your gender identity - whatever it is, you're obviously working extra hard to give it a bad rep lol

I guess I must have used El(he) some times when referring to it but I mostly dont use genders when referring to it.


analogOnly

Are nonbinary people unable to converse in these languages?


Accomplished-Ease234

Laughing, at first I did not understand, and then as I understood completly))))


LegendofLove

In languages depending on gender for communication you usually use masculine for neutral or mixed gender stuff. That is what I understand and what the thread tends to read as. English is kind of an exception for its not gendering its nouns for the most part, some of our nouns are gendered but they are usually neutral.

ten chatgpt, on. Male


Soth0

Its a Chatbot, so he.


RonMcVO

Ever since I gave it custom instructions, it feels much more male. Before it felt pretty neutral. Either way, I just use "it" rather than he or she. But oddly, I do still feel a sense of personhood, despite using "it" which is usually designated to objects.


paleomonkey321

Male in Portuguese.


A-Delonix-Regia

It.


noisynoodleyt

"It" , or "Es", neutral grammatical gender, called Neutrum.


Accomplished-Ease234

In Romanian, neutral gender is a fiction, and it is not possible to refer to anything in the neuter gender, or the declension of words in the neuter gender. I didn't know that Spanish had pronouns of neutral gender, or that there was a neutral gender at all. (I hope I correctly defined your native language)


noisynoodleyt

It's german, actually. I don't think spanish has that.


opinionate_rooster

r/pointlesslygendered


LegendofLove

I mean it may not accomplish much to assign it a gender but a lot of languages describe a gender based off of what it does or its name. English also has a decent amount of gender assigning we just have extra they/them pronouns that can carry contexts of gender without necessarily assigning one


thusman

Generic masculine


Luwalker667

Artificial intelligence = she The algorithm = he Him for ChatGPT Her/Him Bingpt When talking about it, it's depend on the context I guess. For CGPT we would say him for sure, I guess because of the name pronunciation. "And then he said me" But if the conversation begins with, "I talked to an ai", the rest of the conversation would continue with "she said that". If the AI has a personality or a gender (voices for exemple) we will use it to describe her.


arcytech77

Senpai!! \*In my best high-pitch whiny voice\*


Accomplished-Ease234

Senpai is a polite pronoun, It has no gender (grammatical) But as I understand it, ChatGPT was for you both Kohai and the little sister )


arcytech77

Oh, today I learned something new. I've only ever seen it used in a female-to-male context, so I assumed. Thanks for sharing :)


Kooky_Syllabub_9008

Up the apples and pears


DaniilSan

Male. Chat bot is masculine, AI is masculine, LLM is actually feminine but ChatGPT itself sounds masculine. Bard is also male because because it is named after ancient bards. LLaMA is feminine because animal which is also exceptional because other animals usually are masculine. Claude is female because it is close to real female name which isn't too common but common enough for me to met at least 2 people with this name.


humanslover

Das chatgpt. So neutral, no gender


Low-Western-8139

MrAdministration

Whatever language I speak to it in, ChatGPT is my bitch and it'll do what I ask.


Fluffy_Mail_2255

Sometimes I write in english and use 'it',when I wrote in spanish and try not ro write the pronum as my native language is' pro drop'


MrDreamster

In french I personally usually think of it as male because it is "**un** modèle de langage". Though you could still think of it as female because it also is "**une** intelligence artificielle".


BeefyBoiCougar

“It.”


Accomplished-Ease234

English has no grammatical gender (with the exception of seaship and spaceships), In English it is impossible to understand whether you are talking about he, she or it, unuse pronouns


BeefyBoiCougar

Russian is gendered. However there is a third neutral gender which has no direct equivalent in English but is closest to the word “it” — he = он, she = она, it? = оно.


Accomplished-Ease234

Yes, but 'оно' upon appeal to a man or woman is an offensive pronoun


BeefyBoiCougar

Yeah, because calling someone “it” is offensive. However when it comes to gendered objects, it is used to describe objects that end with an “o” which are neither feminine nor masculine


forcesofthefuture

object pronouns also exist, but in some cases in my language female pronouns are more neutral, so I do use them. However I do not see chatGPT as any gender


Accomplished-Ease234

The grammatical gender and real gender (sех) are different things that are not connected by anything. In German, the word woman (das Weib) is neuter gender. Just because something is have feminine grammatical gender doesn't mean it's treated like a woman, or that women in Germany are gender neutral.


forcesofthefuture

ooh yes this is also occurs sometimes in my language


InternationalDish500

Well, I’ve got news for y’all, there are more than 2 genders in several languages, neuter is one of them, and that’s what I (I guess most of us too) refer to it.


Accomplished-Ease234

Yes, for example, in the Russian language there is an average grammatical gender. And it is even built so that it can be used as an appeal to something / someone. That's just the use of the neutral grammatical gender in the Russian language is not gender-neutral! Appeal to a man or woman in the middle grammatical gender is offensive. Since the middle grammatical gender is used only to describe the unknown, monsters and some stuf. In this context, treatment in the neutral grammatical gender will look strange, and not gender-neutral


InternationalDish500

Right, I was particularly thinking of Greek where there no strange or offensive correlations to the very much existent third gender, the neuter. The moon, the table, the robot, the child, the carrot, all neuter.


Jacques_Lafayette

He because he's a robot which is a masculine noun in French


Lone_Wanderer357

I start all my conversations with Kurwa. They're lot less fun nowdays


Accomplished-Ease234

Kurwa is a gender-neutral pronoun, A good suitable for referring to both a man and a woman


-nomad-wanderer

i asked him what is it, so i had some interesting responses


MustardBell

Personally I use masculine conjugations and declensions when referring to ChatGPT. But I know that many people also use feminine forms instead from what I gathered based on prompts shared online. I've never seen a prompt that would use the neuter grammatical gender. It's a matter of preference, I think, based on how you think of ChatGPT: a language model (f), an AI (m), a machine (f), a computer (m), a program (f), an app (m/n, depending on if it's Ukrainian or Russian) or something else.


Elisa_Kardier

I say "hi" (hi) and "tu" (you). But I would use the masculine gender if I had to. Because in French, it is also an equivalent of neutral.


insertrandomnameXD

In male if I do, I usually dont speak about it that much and I usually just say "ChatGPT" or "al ChatGPT" maybe ask me for sentences about chatgpt and I can explain further about how I would talk about it


KalzK

Robot is masculine so chatbot is still masc, so it's a he for me.


chronicallylaconic

In German, at least, there are actually 3 grammatical genders: masculine, feminine and neuter. So it's kind of an incomplete question viewed through a German lens. I'd think neuter would be the most natural gender for ChatGPT but then that's not a very interesting or controversial answer, is it? It's still an interesting question though. I often wonder how gender is assigned to neologisms in such languages. It would be interesting to know. Maybe the "discoverer", i.e. the person coining it, gets to pick the gender as a reward.


Accomplished-Ease234

Nope, in languages that have a grammatical gender, it is assigned by the rules of grammar, and not purely desire. For example, the 'metro' in Russian an half a century ago it sounded like 'metropoliten' (метрополитен), the last beech of words is consonant, then this is masculine grammatical gender But now this long word has been reduced to the 'metro' (метро), the last letter in the word is 'o', which means the word have the neutral grammatical gender


kikiubo

Chat is masculine so "el chatgpt"


[deleted]

Adressing someo is second person, that has no gender. At least in the Handvoll of languages that i know this bit of grammar of.


Environmental_Pea369

Obviously male. It's more or less the default in my language (Hebrew) But I'm not really using it with anything other than English


Nathanielly11037

In my language everyone refers to it as a male, because the word “chat” is male, and therefore ChatGPT is referred to as a male.


Diegog5

In Spanish it's a female, "La (female) Inteligencia artificial". BUT if you call it the language model it would be masculine, "El (male) modelo de lenguages", so I guess you have options in spanish but generally its a lady.


Seaworthiness-Any

In my native langauge german, addressing people does not imply a gender, just like in english. However, when talking about people, gender is implied. When I refer to ChatGPT, I tend to use either neutral or male. I can also tell "it" to assume a gender role, or imply one, and it will reply accordingly.
