In a partnership with Mistral AI, CNRS is deploying a locally-hosted LLM chatbot for its employees.

They provide some examples of tasks you can ask the chatbot: summarizing a long text; translating; and writing an outline for an article.

Tasks you'd want to delegate to an assistant because they're beneath you.

And then they decided it would be a great idea to "honor" Emmy Noether, one of the most influential women mathematicians ever, by naming this chatbot Emmy after her.

I cannot fully express how angry that makes me.

Can't be arsed to read something yourself? Ask good old Emmy to summarize it for you, that's right up her alley, she'll do it between proving two major results in algebra or mathematical physics, too bad she's only a website and can't make you a cup of coffee while she's at it.
