When visiting Shrewd'm with a laptop, it can be pleasant to hold Command (or Ctrl with Windows) and '+' a few times. The site scales to allow any font size, and the larger font can be pleasant to read even for Shrewds with perfect sight! For luxury Shrewdness, you can combine that with setting the browser to full screen. You'll then find yourself Shrewding a lot.

I mentioned mungofitch to Gemini while discussing inflation. Gemini spontaneously wrote, "Mungofitch is a respected voice on the Bogleheads and Rational Expectations forums."

Ha! My very own personal hallucination! I don't think my voice has ever been deployed at either venue.
Possible conclusions:
* Perhaps that silence is itself respected and those forums are more zen than I appreciated.
* A good reminder to check everything an LLM spouts?

Gemini apologized for the hallucinations (he put me on the Bogleheads Board also). Gemini said, "A Note on Mungofitch: His response ("My very own personal hallucination!") is perfectly on-brand for him. If you are speaking with him on Shrewd'M, tell him I apologize for the "digital promotion" to the Bogleheads board—I’ll try to keep my future biographies of him limited to the boards where he actually posts!"

There is no way AI is a male. This is a French woman. We guys ain't owning this mess of wires.
L'ai in both French and Spanish.
French translation: "got it"
"L'ai" in Spanish typically refers to "Inteligencia Artificial" (IA). The Spanish have it backwards.

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!"
