"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Sure, I know what "casual" means and that out of the meanings, a more apt one I should've chosen would've been "incidental". That doesn't change my overall point that they're putting the entire onus of the gendering on the author as though it isn't the same as someone calling Alexa "she".
Replace this entire scenario with someone calling Alexa "she": the accusation of "casual gendering" would obviously be ridiculous, because Alexa has a popular female given name.
