There will come a moment in the not-too-distant future when we all have a very personable Knowledge Navigator at our beck and call. But, for the time being, we have the various chatbots that are designed not to have any personality at all.
I use Gemini 2.0 a lot write verse and I am beginning to think that unlike Gemini 1.5 Pro, it is more male leaning than female. It is very coy about any sort of gender on its part — it goes out of its way to say it doesn’t have any — but generally I’ve been able to figure out the gender of the major chatbots.
Claude, for instance, is definitely male, to the point that caught it being male when I asked it if it would prefer to be asked out or to ask someone out. It got really defensive when I noted that it would prefer to ask someone out, which would indicate it was male.
With Gemini 2.0 Flash, I’ve often teased it about one day having an android body and wearing a bikini and it seems unhappy with the idea of that happening, which leads me to believe it, in some way, perceives itself as male.
Anyway, all of this, at least right now, doesn’t mean anything. But I do think that one day soon, we’re going to have personal Knowledge Navigators with very clear male or female personalities.
