Because assigning genders to computers makes as much sense as giving your toaster a name

I don't know if you speak a language with genders, I assume you don't. A computer personality needs a gender in some languages in order to talk naturally about itself.

For example, if it needs to answer a question with "I'm not sure." In Romanian it would say "Nu-s sigur." for a male personality or "Nu-s sigură." for female. There is no other option.

it’s 2024

You know a position is bad when it's justified by "it's current year".
