The right one in this case is "doesn't have a gender", so what does that correspond to in your language? In mine, that would be neuter, and GPT-4 seems to prefer that.

My language has only masculine and feminine genders. There's no neuter gender. And there isn't anything like "singular they" either.

"Chatbot" and "language model" are both masculine so, I guess that's why ChatGPT uses "masculine it" when speaking about itself.
