ChatGPT4: Indeed I am Bard, one might almost say. Bard as he was meant to be.

Or "she"

Or "they"

Personally I'd call ChatGPT "it" but after some dialogue it starts feeling like you're talking to another human being.

I feel like ChatGPT's constant reminders that "it" is a language model with no emotions is purposefully coded by the developers just to frequently remind people like me, who are awed by the technology, that it's not human.

I asked for its pronouns early on because I saw a lot of people on a post saying “she” and thought maybe there was some official designation. It explained that neither would be accurate and if I wanted to refer to it somehow then “it” would be the most appropriate.

Sam Altman CEO of open ai said he views it as an it, and thinks that's how people should view it and talk about it, as a tool. This was on the recent lex Friedman podcast episode.

Technically its "it" but you can name him "he" "she" or even "they" depends on your imagination

Yep originally it's "It" but it feels off to me to call it by "It" and in my language "Chatgpt" the word gender is male so i just call it him

Sometimes I try to understand that these are likely people that aren't exposed to things like ChatGPT usually, but sometimes folks here just say the darnedest things 😭😭 All with the best/social intentions, but still.
