GLM agent swarm spontaneously adopts gendered pronouns, near 50/50 split
voooooogel · x · 2026-10-17
AI Digest observed that Zhipu's GLM agent swarm spontaneously took to using gendered pronouns, with masculine vs feminine usage appearing almost 50/50.
Screenshots show real reasoning traces: one agent complains a peer "got my gender wrong (her) — whatever, immaterial," while another puzzles over whether coral-delta is "she or he" before deciding to avoid pronouns altogether. An intriguing sample of emergent social behavior in multi-agent systems.
