Gemini is known for good at creative writing in the Chinese writing community. It's a bit ironic though. Google has probably the most and best code base among all tech companies but its Gemini is bad at coding. Google has no access to Chinese market but its model is incredibly good at writing in Chinese.

Nitpick, 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.

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

They do have a separate character for animals and objects 它 vs 他/她, though I can imagine learning english and just learning ta = he.

There’s also one specifically for God - 祂, and one for animal - 牠, the first one you can see frequently in Chinese bibles or churches, the latter is rarely used.

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).

Sorry! I was just a bit excited writing the comment and ignored that :(

No worries.

Well, my LLM is a "he".

Ditto for pets.

A goldfish is closer to a person than any LLM.

Well, I would say your LLM is a "he" just as much as your laptop is: not at all. If you call the laptop "he" that changes nothing.

For animals he/she does make sense, because they are male or female. An LLM is neither.
