This essay presents a study to find out if AI (artificial intelligence) uses gendered- and/or gender stereotypical language. With prompts related to males or females given to ChatGPT, which is the chatbot used in this study, this essay portrays and discusses the outcomes and compares the outcomes in terms of gender. In other words, this essay will illustrate the gender stereotypical outcomes of the chatbot within different text types. The AI tool that is used is the large language model (LLM) ChatGPT (version 3.5) and the four different text types are song lyrics, poems, news articles and short stories. Since the rise of popularity of ChatGPT and AI in general, this study is relevant due to the previous findings of sexist language in the outcomes of prompts given to AI.

How this study gets its material is by giving various prompts to ChatGPT and highlighting terms that portray descriptions, actions and feelings. The results of this study are that depending on the text type, AI does show gendered language in some cases. In the song lyrics and short stories, there is little to no proof of gender stereotypical language, whereas in the poems and news articles there are many findings of terms that could be seen as gendered and/or sexist language.
