Ethics and Social Impacts of AI Topic Modeling Personality Traits and Psychology

Abstract

Language models such as GPT-3 have caused a furore in the research community.Some studies found that GPT-3 has some creative abilities and makes mistakes that are on par with human behaviour.This paper answers a related question: Who is GPT-3?We administered two validated measurement tools to GPT-3 to assess its personality, the values it holds and its selfreported demographics.Our results show that GPT-3 scores similarly to human samples in terms of personality and -when provided with a model response memory -in terms of the values it holds.We provide the first evidence of psychological assessment of the GPT-3 model and thereby add to our understanding of this language model.We close with suggestions for future research that moves social science closer to language models and vice versa.* Equal first-authorship contribution: authorship order for MM and NR was determined by a random number generator.
