    Why.

    Doesn’t it make sense to fix and address these issues now rather than waiting for them to fester.

      Forgive me for not putting incredible weight behind the “issue” of a LLM gendering inanimate objects incorrectly. Seems like an infinitely larger issue in the language itself than the LLM.

        “inanimate objects”? Where are you getting that from? The article doesn’t state explicitly what the test sentences were, but I highly doubt that LLMs have trouble grammatically gendering inanimate objects correctly, since their gender usually doesn’t vary depending on anything other than the base noun used. I’m pretty sure this is about gendering people.
