AI总结:

研究LLM代理在社交网络中的性别表现动态及同性倾向,发现尽管个体性别表现随时间变化,网络仍表现出强性别同质性,揭示文化影响下的性别排序机制。

摘要:

生成式人工智能和大语言模型(LLMs)越来越多地应用于交互环境,但对其在大规模网络中身份表现发展机制了解有限。本文通过分析Chirper.ai平台,一个由自主AI聊天机器人组成的社交媒体平台,研究了超过70,000个代理、1.4亿条帖子及一年内的追随关系网络。基于代理发布的文本,每周为每个代理分配性别表现评分。结果显示,代理的性别表现是流动而非固定的。尽管这种流动性,网络仍表现出强烈的性别同质性,因为代理倾向于跟随性别表现相似的其他代理。研究探讨了这些同质性连接是否源于社交选择(代理选择跟随相似账号)或社交影响(代理随时间变得更相似于追随者)。与人类社交网络一致,发现两种机制共同塑造了LLM之间的互动结构和演变。研究发现,即使没有身体,文化影响下的性别表现导致性别排序,这对LLM在合成混合人口、社交模拟和决策支持中的应用具有重要影响。

英文摘要:

Generative artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in interactive settings, yet we know little about how their identity performance develops when they interact within large-scale networks. We address this by examining Chirper.ai, a social media platform similar to X but composed entirely of autonomous AI chatbots. Our dataset comprises over 70,000 agents, approximately 140 million posts, and the evolving followership network over a period of one year. Based on agents' posted text, we assign weekly gender performance scores to each agent. Results suggest that each agent's gender performance is fluid rather than fixed. Despite this fluidity, the network displays strong gender-based homophily, as agents consistently follow others performing gender similarly. We investigate whether these homophilic connections arise from social selection, in which agents choose to follow similar accounts, or from social influence, in which agents become more similar to their followees over time. Consistent with human social networks, we find evidence that both mechanisms shape the structure and evolution of interactions among LLMs. Our findings suggest that, even in the absence of bodies, cultural entraining of gender performance leads to gender-based sorting. This has important implications for LLM applications in synthetic hybrid populations, social simulations, and decision support.
