Lady Trieu was a character in the Watchmen TV show.
What's even more evil than a megalomaniac white guy billionaire? A megalomaniac Vietnamese WOMAN billionaire!
Hmmm
Bit iffy on trans people.
but counts it correct 💀
I'm starting to think this site uses some LLM to compile names
Based on it including one of the Wachowskis, I assume that "Not a woman" is shown when the name isn't in the dataset they are using for women, some of the other comments are claiming its using a LLM under the hood to detect which names are real women.
What the fuck
I spent some time testing how this thing treats semi-historical figures, so I guess I might as well post my "findings".
Biblical women of the Old Testament are considered fictional, but those from the New Testament or the Quran are not. Helen of Troy is correctly considered fictional, but Agondice is not. Interestingly, Hersilia, the wife of Romulus, is considered not fictional.
I did a bit of testing myself and I can't find any pattern for which mythological characters are fictional vs which are ambiguous.
Ceridwen (a character from Welsh folklore) is ambiguous but her daughter Creirwy is not a recognised public figure. Lilith is fictional. Shamhat (from the epic of Gilgamesh) is fictional.
Edit: to muck around a bit further I tried some saints. Dwynwen is is a historical figure, Gwen the triple breasted is not. Agatha of Sicilly ~~is corrected into Agatha Christie for some reason~~ That was 'cos of a typo, it does recognise her as a historical figure.
feminist? oh yea? name 100 women you do not personally know
