A bit of a non sequitur, but am I the only one finding the use of "she" to refer...

You could do something pretty interesting by looking at what pronouns people use for llms in different demographics and contexts

Do you think chatGPT is a he or a she

It's an it.

I'm not sure in English, but in Italian, for example, Intelligenza is feminine.

Objects don't have gender in English.

Some do, by tradition more than language rules. Ships are "she" and some people refer to their cars as "she."

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.

Yes, but this is not most contexts. If you're running an "experiment" you should probably not be anthropomorphizing the machine that's being experimented with.
