Let’s ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

How did the trans issue metastasize within just a decade from being a question of kindness and tolerance to a tiny minority to convulsing a whole society?
