It’s not my cuppa but I’m in my 50s and chat relates to some more unsavory aspects of internet for me. But I also gave up dude (except as an insult) and guys quite a while ago. I much prefer folx or fam.

i always thought guys as plural already was gender-neutral

It is

It is not. Ask a bunch of cis het dudes how many guys they have slept with and you will quickly see how gender neutral it is.
