Something maybe unfamiliar with you: not about coding but writing. I've asked it to write an argumentative essay, which is a part of "gaokao" (China's university entrance exam), and its work is *extremely* impressive. speaks and writes like a real senior high school student, and the opinions unfold progressively with deep hierarchy. I don't know how the Gemini team reaches this because this kind of Chinese capability literally outperforms at least 2/3 Chinese students, no to mention those who speak Chinese. After all, the model speaks like a real humankind if you prompt it well. That's AGI guys

Gemini is known for good at creative writing in the Chinese writing community. It's a bit ironic though. Google has probably the most and best code base among all tech companies but its Gemini is bad at coding. Google has no access to Chinese market but its model is incredibly good at writing in Chinese.

Nitpick, but in my opinion an LLM is an "it", not a "her" or "he". Using male or female pronouns risks anthropomorphizing them which can lead to unhealthy outcomes.

FYI in Chinese he/she/it all use the same pronoun "ta" when spoken.

Well, my LLM is a "he".

Ditto for pets.

Well, I would say your LLM is a "he" just as much as your laptop is: not at all. If you call the laptop "he" that changes nothing.

For animals he/she does make sense, because they are male or female. An LLM is neither.
