To be fair, Mistral's LeChat added a comment that might be understood as a deliberate choice to be consistent with this kind of jokes.

(If you cannot speak French: I asked them to translate a short story into French, which is a language in which most jobs have no default gender-neutral form: in these AIGen translations, they are all translated into male.)

I just compared ChatGPT (OpenAI), LeChat (Mistral) and Lumo (Proton), and an outcome is: they are equally sexist: for them, doctors, chemists, CEO, computer scientist and engineers are necessarily male jobs. 🤓

Two-sentence reviews are completely unacceptable.

But, in case you would still need to be convinced, a long review is not a sufficient condition for being better. Literally:

📣 Sorbonne University withdraws from the Times Higher Education World University Rankings!

🎓 This withdrawal is not just a symbolic gesture. The decision comes as part of a broader strategy to promote #openscience and reform research assessment.

Low-co2 research paper - Theoretical Computer Scientists for Future TCS4F is an initiative aimed at theoretical computer scientists for a significant reduction of carbon emissions and evolve towards more sustainable practices.

Une nouvelle initiative très intéressante de #TCS4F : le principe de Low-co2 research paper, qui auto-attribue un label aux articles rédigés et présentés de façon écologiquement responsable, et (donc) sans prendre l'avion :

Seen in the instructions to the PC of a popular conference:
"Reviews should be written by humans and the judgement of the relevance and quality for the paper should be made by a human, not by an algorithm."

I’m half happy this is made explicit, and half devastated that it needs to be made explicit.
