A new study testing ChatGPT’s artificial intelligence image creator found that men were more likely to be positive than women when asked to portray businessmen and CEOs. According to financial company finder.
Using DALL-E, a generative AI, prompt-based photo creator integrated with ChatGPT from parent company OpenAI, 99 out of 100 rendered photos featured men instead of women.

In 2018, Amazon introduced a recruiting tool that teaches you: ignore female applicants.
A few months after its creation, ChatGPT itself came under fire for favoring prompts related to CNN and for being biased against the New York Post.
Additionally, a report last year found that ChatGPT is more likely to tolerate right-wing ideology and hate speech against men.
