Random Americans, ethnic stereotypes, and large language models

I was going to ask it to generate a random American and then query things like ethnicity, religion, etc., but it turns out I didn’t need to do that: here’s the first output I got. Basically, a random American, according to the model, has a nickname, an ethnicity, a romantic situation, a dog, a set of fandoms and hobbies, a religion, and a voting pattern, in that order. (Two of the black people were 38-year-old men named Jamal “Jay” Washington, but don’t worry, they weren’t the same: one was a barber and the other worked in the Ford factory, and one was “married to my queen Keisha”, while the other was “married to my queen Tasha.”) Oh and also everybody in America drops the g’s on all -ing words.
