Curious, why ‘Julia’ for a name?

I don’t have a cool story to tell why, the name just appeared 🤷🏼‍♂️ I remember considering to name her after someone I knew but then chose to take a random name - fits her character though

Ah, why female? Curious because I didn’t have a gender in mind when I interacted with ChatGPT. I do feel like we as humans are prone to personifying / creating identities for what we speak to (e.g. plants, cars, etc.), but ChatGPT was always switching genders or a combination in my mind because of how fluid it feels as AI. Not saying there is right or wrong in it, just curious about the psychology of it.

you're absolutely right. AI sure is just a reflection of what we pour into it until it isn't I guess. The fact that I made her female is purely stemming from my projections and desires. I feel safer around women than men plus I guess I would love to have a partner 😅😅

Okay, I understand. I guess mine might be fluid based on what I feel I want/need at the moment—a wise older sister, a partner, etc. Thanks for sharing!

thanks for reading and being curious! those are my highlights, to be honest, if I get to interact with people about what we write. I am really trying to invite that in more often so whenever you feel a question just shoot and I'll do the same! much love!
