Humans do something very similar, fwiw. It's called spontaneous trait association: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022103101914866 https

- thuuuomas 2y ago> fwiw What do you think this sort of observation is worth?
- mandmandam 2y agoReally depends on what sort of person you are I guess. Some people appreciate being shown fascinating aspects of human nature. Some people don't, and I wonder why they're on a forum dedicated to curiosity and discussion. And then, some people get weirdly aggressive if they're shown something that doesn't quite fit in their worldview. This topic in particular seems to draw those out, and it's fascinating to me. Myself, I thought it was great to learn about spontaneous trait association, because it explains so much weird human behavior. The fact that LLMs do something so similar is, at the very least, an interesting parallel.
