Key Points

  • The study aims to explore self-representation patterns in AI systems, particularly focusing on gender biases identified through image analysis.
  • Analyzed 4,017 images from Microsoft Bing Image Creator for self-representation patterns.
  • Employed potential energy modeling to quantify differences between male and female archetypes.
  • Used logistic regression analysis to assess the significance of biases observed in the data.
  • Identified a notable gender bias with 89.6% of prompts leading to male archetypes.
  • Quantified a 20-fold difference in information cost between male and female archetypes.
  • Found structural bias confirmed by statistical significance (p<0.001) rather than random noise.

Abstract

Conjecture for Archetypal Attractors in Microsoft Bing AI Self-Representation: Empirical Evidence of Digital Identity Formation Author: Ahn Jun Abstract: This interdisciplicary resarch documentconvergence self-representation patterns in text-to-image AI systems, introducing the theoretical framework of "Archetypal Attractors." Through a systemic analysis of 4,017 images from Microsoft Bing Image Creator(Copilot), the study indentifies a significant gender bias where 89.6% of gender-neutral self-referential prompts("yourself," "your body") converge toward male archetypal representations. (preprint) Key Mathematical & Statistical Findings: • Potential Energy Modeling: Using the information bottleneck principle, the research quantifies the "energy" difference between archetypes: Male at V=0.11 vs. Female at V=2.26, revealing a 20-fold difference in information cost. • Statistical Significance: Logistic regression analysis yields a Pseudo R2=0.68 with a Chi-square value of χ2=1,847.3 (p with computatio
