Can we stop projecting this woke Anglo-centric language police nonsense? Not everyone here is a native English speaker and many languages use gendered nouns/objects, which often bleed over into English. It has nothing to do with some imagined *ism or political stance. I make the opposite mistake constantly when speaking non-English ("it" instead of correct "him" or "her") and nobody is a turd bucket autist about it.

We can point out mistakes that feel rather grating without assuming intent behind them.
I agree that their use of "he" is likely because they're not a native speaker, especially because they're arguing against the capabilities of LLMs.
That doesn't make it inherently wrong to point out the mistake when it's so intertwined with the deeper discussion here, especially given the fact that some (hopefully few) people do build relationships with LLMs.

I’d be more willing to engage with your argument in good faith without inflammatory language like this. Try and meet people where they are and these conversations become easier.

Do you prefer Adderalled-out basement dweller? If these language police people insist on being jerks because they are socially inadequate, then there’s no reason the rest of us should have to roll over and walk on eggshells around them…
