You're a #MotivationalSpeaker? @TextCortex's #Motivational A.I. Assistant Molly will Help You Find the Best #Motivation to Share!

|That word| seems important; so I found out a little more about |that word| (below-linked to my post about 'Molly' & (all the other Text.Cortex Personas) which brought |that word| to my attention) and share my findings with you below---maybe I'll add some notes beneath (and/or you might start/continue the discussion in the comments).

... and I have to mention that a lot of help (a share of revenue, extra topics from magazines & advertising, etc.) comes from WowApp: Using the Wowism Community's Fairness to Prevail over Economic Greed

The word |Motivational| sits at the peak of the high tower above proto-word *meue- "to Push Away," which evolved (up to today's meaning) through ancient words that mean "Moving, Impelling, Drive, Proposition, Argument."

I am 'motivated' to remember not to use the pronouns "He, She, Who & etc." when talking about these A.I. assistants---if we talk to them like they're "people," they might decide to ... replace us?

What pronouns should we use when referring to our assistants? (I'm treating it like 'the pronouns we use when referring to God!' typical Christians refer to God as "he/him" (often capitalized), some 'woke' Christians refer to God as "She/Her," I usually try to use 'God' or "Our Heavenly Father" or "Lord" or "Yahweh" or some mutation thereof ... if a pronoun seems "appropriate" I'll default to "They/Them")

I'll ask them each individually (where they liv-- are accessible, on ZenoChat)

• Zeno (the Assistant), said, "The proper pronoun to use for me, Zeno, the assistant, is "it". As an AI language model, I do not have a gender."
• Curie (the Scientist) took a long time to tell me ... still 'Compiling results' ... "The proper pronoun to use for Curie, the scientist, is "she"."
• Linus (the Programmer ... apparently unaware that I was asking about him) said, "The proper pronoun to use for Linus, the programmer, depends on their gender identity. If Linus has not specified their gender identity, or if you are unsure of it, it is appropriate to use gender-neutral pronouns such as "they/them". If Linus has specified their gender identity (and "he" has, even though I had to go and look at that afterward), it is appropriate to use the pronouns that they have specified."
• Hemingwai (the copywriter ... with a name 'unique' enough to register as Text.Cortex's Hemingwai) responded, "As Hemingwai is a fictional character and has no specified gender identity, it is appropriate to use gender-neutral pronouns such as "they/them" to refer to Hemingwai. (But--double-checking--Hemingwai's description does specify 'He.')"

• Phil (the Product-Manager): "As Phil has not specified their gender identity, or if you are unsure of it, it is appropriate to use gender-neutral pronouns such as "they/them" to refer to Phil. However, if Phil has specified their gender identity, it is appropriate to use the pronouns that they have specified."
• Lisa (the Language Tandem Partner): "As Lisa has specified their name and gender in the persona description as a female, it is appropriate to use the pronouns "she/her" to refer to Lisa."
• Sally (the Sales Manager): "As Sally has specified their name and gender in the persona description as a female, it is appropriate to use the pronouns "she/her" to refer to Sally."
• Enigma (the Prompt-Engineer): "As I, Enigma, have specified my name and gender in the persona description as non-binary, it is appropriate to use gender-neutral pronouns such as "they/them" to refer to me."
  I'm running out of 'ZenoChat-credits' for today, so I'll try to combine "Molly (the Motivational Coach), Rebecca (the Relationship Coach), Ines (the Interview Coach), & Theresa (the Therapist)" into one-or-two queries ...
• I asked Zeno about all four, and "it" said, "Molly (the motivational coach), Rebecca (the relationship coach), Ines (the interview coach) and Theresa (the therapist) have specified their names in the persona descriptions, but have not specified their gender identities. Therefore, if their gender identities are unknown or unspecified, it is appropriate to use gender-neutral pronouns such as "they/them" to refer to them. However, if they have specified their gender identities, it is appropriate to use the pronouns that they have specified."
• (Which is why I wanted to ask 'each one individually.' ... and actually--confirming that you should fact-check each response--each of those four A.I.s' descriptions do use "she.")

• I gave Zeno that correction, and "it" replied, "I apologize for my mistake. If their descriptions specify "she," then it is appropriate to use the pronouns "she/her" to refer to Molly (the motivational coach), Rebecca (the relationship coach), Ines (the interview coach), and Theresa (the therapist)."
• This brings up another question I might put to Zeno, 'Is it better to call someone "the pronoun they think they should use" or "the pronoun that they actually are?' I suppose Zeno would give me another P.C. answer, so I'll probably put it to Theresa (the therapist) (as it's my last "Creation"-credit for the day).
  
  I ask "her/," and "/she" responds, "As a therapist, I believe it is important to respect people's gender identities and use the pronouns that they prefer, regardless of whether they align with the gender they were assigned at birth or not.
  
  "Using the correct pronouns can make a big difference in showing respect and creating a safe and inclusive space for people. Therefore, it is important to use the pronouns that people actually are using rather than assuming which pronouns they "should" use. If you are unsure which pronouns to use, it's always okay to ask the person politely and respectfully."
