    This whole discussion has me in a humourous mode. I think it is possible
to someday have a language or two with "gender systems" based on organic
lifeforms & non-organic intelligences (i.e. AI [Artificial Intelligence] &
a-Life [artificial-Life]).
    For instance, the organic/sentient intelligences might be divided into:
        1) _human/primate_ and then _other animal intelligences_ (cetean,
feline,             canine, etc.) &
        2) the machine intelligences all lumped into one category.

    Sounds like a Herman Miller project to me...
    ... also this for some reason, reminds me of David Brin's "Uplift" (?)
sci-fi novels...
