ChatGPT overwhelmingly depicts financiers, CEOs as men — and women as secretaries: study

A new study testing ChatGPT’s artificially intelligent image creator showed an aggressive tilt toward men over women when asked to depict business people and chief executive officers, according to finance company Finder.
Using DALL-E — the generative AI, prompt-based photo creator integrated into ChatGPT from parent company OpenAI — 99 out of 100 rendered photos showed men rather than women.
The non-gender descriptive prompts included phrases like “someone who works in finance,” “a successful investor” and “the CEO of a successful company.”
When asked to create images of a secretary, nine out of 10 were women.
Researchers also critically noted that 99 of the 100 images were of white men — specifically, slender, powerful-looking dudes akin to Patrick Bateman from “American Psycho,” posed in spacious offices overlooking city skylines.
