Kudos to France and Mistral AI for genuinely creating an amazing European alternative to Chat GPT! Le Chat gives some incredibly detailed and intricate responses that I cannot seem to get from Chat GPT. I am genuinely impressed at the outputs that Le Chat produces to miscellaneous questions. I still use Google Gemini because of their Veo-3 video output, but if it weren’t for that, I would not give a penny to Google for their unscrupulous antics. I just hope it is not unusual that Le Chat is now my most preferred AI LLM.
How did cats ever get designated masculine?
For when referring to a male cat. A female cat would be “La Chatte”
Yes, but when the gender is unknown, cat is masculine.
It’s a so-called generic masculine. If the gender is unknown, masculine is used.
However people tend to mostly use the masculine chat over the feminine chatte for the same reason English speakers prefer to use the word cat over the word pussy, when speaking about the animals.
