We need a new study to understand why we would pay a computer program and why we gave a gender to a bunch of bits.

It's a computer, so it can't be non-binary.
Sure it can, quantumn computers aren't binary.
No they are binary. Qubits only contain 1 bit of information.
but that bit is not only 1 or 0, which means that a qubit isn't binary.
It is only a 0 or 1. A qubit has never been observed to be anything else.
True, but they have the third state of superposition giving them a total of 3 possible states; 0, 1 and both simultaneously
Superposition really is just a mathematical notation to predict how the qubits will behave. It's arguably nomological not ontological. No one has ever in history measured or detected or observed a qubit to be in this "third state." It's always found to just have a bit value of 0 or 1. The mathematical book keeping is just a way to predict that 0 or 1 and doesn't describe a third state.

Nevertheless, the definition of a qubit is that is has those three states, meaning it technically isn't binary.

There are analog computers, there were experiments with 3-stage bit computers...

It's in your blood.
Isn't the modern approach to gender that gender is a completely arbitrary characteristic? So why not? For example, in my native languages every noun has grammatical gender. So for me the idea of intellect being male and a tire being female is completely ok.
This is worst than AI slop.
Participants were then given real money to divide between themselves and the AI assistant
Uh huh.... wat...
Oh FFS…. I want to wake up from this dumb shit so much!
