He looks hot. AI clearly has a high opinion of itself. Wait…himself? Where do we stand on applying gender to AI??

    It's not a person, doesn't have any sort of social characteristics, so it doesn't have a gender any more than a lamp with a very convincing fake beard.

    Really depends on your language. In french lamps are females for example.

    Lamps aren't female in French, they're feminine but this is purely grammatical and doesn't imply any social gender. It's just part of the word - see "fleuve" and "rivière", both words meaning river, one masculine one feminine.

    so it doesn’t have a gender any more than a lamp with a very convincing fake beard.

    Says you! My side table goes by the pronouns of she/her.
