    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.

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

      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.

    Participants were then given real money to divide between themselves and the AI assistant

    Uh huh… wat…
