Large language models (LLMs) like GTP-4 are trained on vast quantities of text and images and generate new texts that are statistically similar to the training data. The scientific consensus acknowledges that LLMs replicate and sometimes exacerbate historical biases in their training data. AI STORIES proposes that LLMs are also affected by a deeper bias: that of the narrative structures in the social media posts, news stories, marketing blurbs and novels the models are trained on. If this is the case it will deeply impact how we use and apply AI, and how we think about bias and cultural diversity in AI models.
