This happens not really because of the gender of the person but because in Spanish things have genders: The moon is a she, the sun is a he, etc. and ChatGPT confuses that and the fact that in this context that distinction makes no sense.

Usually Spanish speaking non-binary people use also "no-binarie", something that doesn't exist in the language, for now at least, but wipes out the gender.

I'm not an expert, thought, just a native Spanish speaker.

Many Latinos refuse to use "e" when the "o" is already neutral. Better improve your Spanish grammar than changing it.

I think the e thing sounds fucking stupid, however if that makes people happy, so be it, language is supposed to evolve over time, the e is only annoying if you actively oppose to it (or are in a position where you're not allowed to make mistakes)

Hey, at least it's better than whatever the fuck Latinx is, so I ain't complaining.
