Gender and Representation Bias in GPT-3 Generated Stories
Open accessAbstract
Using topic modeling and lexicon-based word similarity, we find that stories generated by GPT-3 exhibit many known gender stereotypes.Generated stories depict different topics and descriptions depending on GPT-3's perceived gender of the character in a prompt, with feminine characters 1 more likely to be associated with family and appearance, and described as less powerful than masculine characters, even when associated with high power verbs in a prompt.Our study raises questions on how one can avoid unintended social biases when using large language models for storytelling.

In the citing paper
“GPT-3 has been used to generate articles (Transformer et al., 2022), stories (Lucy & Bamman, 2021), and other types of written content, with some users reporting that the generated text is difficult to distinguish from text written by humans (Elkins & Chun, 2020).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
