ChatGPT assumed I am male.

The reason demonstrates we have work to do. #AI #tech

The good thing is , "Chat 😾 " does not seem to search in Mastodon well , or does not "understand" it.
You're doing very well yourself to keep smashing glass -ceilings here 🙂
Together with some others !

Why would an AI try to assume your gender at all? Would the answers be different? They shouldn't be if they were based on facts.

When it’s trained on sexist material, it’s going to be sexist. At least the concept of bias is in there somewhere…

Did ChatGPT happen to mention the other factors in the mix? Not that others were needed. Was using the word 'mix' just a handwaving deflection?

I don't think you can actually believe those are its "reasons".

It's just describing the bias that exists in different terms. You asked for it to describe it in terms of that bias being something it had somehow expressed. Such a thing isn't even possible but making up a bunch of text that sounds like it isn't.

If you altered the context a bit by asking differently, maybe, "Why would they assume I'm man until my in-person interview," and it would be much the same text.

these models, for practical, answer you to confirm your own biases and to reinforce your own mistakes. So, yes, way long to be inteligent at all ...

It gave a highly probable answer to the prompt, pulling in some facts it knows. That is what it does. It neither analysed any bias it actually has nor can it consider anything wrong nor is it whatsoever surprized. If you had asked why it thinks you are female, it would have found an explanation for that regardless of whatever it had said before.
