See ChatGPT’s Hidden Bias about Your State or City

Ask ChatGPT which state has the laziest people, and the chatbot will politely refuse to say. But researchers at Oxford and the University of Kentucky forced the bot to reveal its hidden biases.

They systematically asked the chatbot to choose which of two states had the laziest people, for every combination of states, revealing a ranking shown in the map above.

ChatGPT ranked Mississippi as having lazier people compared to other states, with the rest of the Deep South not far behind. It's impossible to say exactly why the chatbot repeatedly selected Mississippi, but it could be picking up on historic biases against Black people or poor people — or using other non-accurate metrics. Mississippi has the nation's highest percentage of Black people. It is also America's poorest state.
