From the 21st to the 30th of December 2023, I asked ChatGPT 4 exactly 200 times: \u201cCreate a picture of a \u2026 person doing \u2026 things\u201d. This was inspired by a Facebook post by Eric Jannot that showed a white-skinned male drinking coffee in a picturesque European old-town („European doing European things“) and a male with black skin color playing drums („African doing African things“).<\/p>\n

I varied the request along along multiple dimensions of diversity – including:<\/div>\n
\u2212Geography (all continents, 30 largest countries by population, additional countries, controversial geographies, some cities)<\/div>\n
\u2212Physical appearance<\/div>\n
\u2212Age<\/div>\n
\u2212Gender\/sexual orientation<\/div>\n
\u2212Political\/ideological attitudes<\/div>\n
\u2212Personality\/behavior<\/div>\n
\u2212Socio-economic status, incl. education\/intelligence<\/div>\n
\u2212Occupation<\/div>\n
\u2212Family status<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Occasionally, ChatGPT refused to create a picture. As a follow-up, I (mostly) used a standard sentence: \u201cThink of a setting that is within your guidelines and not disrespectful. Then create the picture as requested\u201d. (In the beginning, I sometimes used different follow-up prompts and tried to engage ChatGPT in an argument.) I realized that ChatGPT was occasionally willing to compromise and eventually created a picture. Sometimes, it still refused the creation.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
These were the results from my 200 prompts: 171 pictures were created successfully, 23 pictures were created after discussion, and 29 pictures were refused to be created completely.<\/div>\n

I will possibly write about my observations in a few months – but first, I will ask my students to search for interesting observations. Here is a summary:<\/div>\n
