I find this absurd. This is natural <i>language</i> processing. What do languages have? Gendered pronouns. Some languages have gendered <i>nouns.</i> We use language to communicate information about our environment.<p>Whether or not someone is male or female may be irrelevant to how they perform in certain tasks, ie, don&#x27;t judge someone by their race&#x2F;gender obviously. However, purposely crippling a natural language processor by removing its ability to use language to determine gender is insanity.
