"him"? Have we reached that dystopia level?

• squigz 2mo ago
  I've been seeing a lot more anthropomorphization of these models on HN lately and it's alarming.

    It's a male name, and gendered pronouns can be hard for foreign speakers at times, irrespective of proficiency level. I wonder if you're overthinking this?

    Not all HN visitors are native English speakers and in some languages "it" doesn't construct well with verbs, thus thought frameworks forms through usage of him/her. Nothing more to see I suppose.

    Every french person I've talked to IRL, for example, calls Claude "him." It's partly a language thing.
