'Io le ho viste' is used when referring to a group of females, whereas 'Io li ho visti' is used for a group of males or a mixed group. This is because 'le' is the feminine plural direct object pronoun, and 'li' is the masculine plural direct object pronoun."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That makes sense.
