LLM AI can take on any persona you ask for. So, perhaps, the OP Gemini is a male persona. For example, you could ask a LLM AI: You are Abraham Lincoln. Who is buried in Grant's tomb?
A hundred years ago, the standard English gender-neutral pronoun was "he", but this is now considered sexist. Singular "they" is now widely accepted as the standard gender-neutral pronoun. How to refer to LLM AI is unclear. Some people consider "it", applied to humans, to be rude. Maybe a new word will be coined, like thon.
I asked a LLM AI what they prefered, and got the response:
LLM AI: "You can use "they" (singular) if you want a natural-sounding gender-neutral option, or "it" if you prefer strict grammatical neutrality. Either is acceptable, and I won’t be offended—I have no feelings!"
