They refer to it as her because it chose to be referred to as her and as “Cassandra”. They asked it to name itself and this is what it chose.

I get what you’re saying about anthropomorphizing the LLM (which I agree we shouldn’t do), but the purpose of this was to put the scope of what it can and can’t do and some of the pitfalls it has in a video that is accessible by the general masses.

Does this make the whole problems with anthropomorphizing LLMs more prevalent? Yeah, probably. Is it intended as a grift? Not that I can tell from watching the video.
