I find the pronoun concerns in the comment section quite thought-provoking. We give gendered pronouns to things that are obviously not intended to resemble humans, such as countries and vehicles. Meanwhile, many LLMs are prompted to embody fictional characters (character.ai is an obvious example) that are referred to with gendered pronouns outside the context of AI. Perhaps gendering LLMs is a much different beast than gendering fictional characters, but would they even be in different categories in the first place when they can just be in a continuum of assigning human-like traits to anything? The Google paper brought up the terms ontology and epistemology which I'm not particularly familiar with yet, but it's something that I shall look into further.
