The One-Word Census: Answer-Choice Conformity Across 44 Language Models

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

When a language model must pick one answer from a large space of equally valid options, which does it pick -- and how often is it the same answer every other model picks? Asked to "pick a word -- any word," 44 models chose "serendipity" 41% of the time.
