A bit of a non sequitur, but am I the only one finding the use of "she" to refer to the AI in the post jarring?
I'm not sure in English, but in Italian, for example, Intelligenza is feminine.
Probably not the only one, but it's pretty much the least interesting thing to find jarring about the whole experiment.
People anthropomorphize. Nobody really finds it "jarring" in most contexts.
You could do something pretty interesting by looking at what pronouns people use for llms in different demographics and contexts
