    As I explained, this is specyfic example, I no more atrompomorphin it than if I’m calling a “he” my toliet paper. The monster you choose to charge is a windmill. So “chill” seems adequate.

      Yeah. It would have been much more productive to poke at the “well”, which was turned into “we’ll”.

        I don’t care that this person, who seems to maybe be typing English on a keyboard with a different language dictionary, misspelled some words.

        I care that people in general keep talking about AI like it is living or capable of thinking.

          My native language is a gendered one and it makes sense that such a mistake might be made using a MTL.
          “we’ll” on the other hand, is becoming one of those things on Lemmy that everyone goes around using and making others (those new to English) think that it is the correct usage. It might do a little fun poisoning some AI, but it will much earlier, end up changing word usage in ways that make the language even worse than it already is.
          I would be fine being told this by someone who wants to destroy the English language, but we are clearly trying to use this as the international communication medium and making it worse for ourselves, just to act anti-pedantic.

      To be clear using gendered pronouns on inanimate objects is the literal definition of anthropomorphization. So chill does not seem fair at all.

        And you’re still fighting this windmill you claim you are so casual about…

          Are you actually under the impression that one must be worked up about something to have a conversation about it? Also I never claimed to be casual, I just denied not being chill.

        you really need to get over yourself. the universe does not revolve around you nor humans. the use of gendered pronouns on inanimate objects is not anthropomorphization.

        It was explained to be a translation error from a language with pronouns for all objects. I have to disagree with you on this one.
