Abstract

This study investigates the presence of stereotype bias in the first images produced by repeatedly prompting text-to-image systems, particularly DALL-E3. The motivation for this study lies in the concern that the primacy effect could amplify stereotypical biases in users’ perceptions. Through a questionnaire survey, participants were asked to rank images based on perceived stereotypical content. Results indicate a pronounced bias in the first images generated, with statistical analysis confirming a significant association between the order of image presentation and the perception of stereotypical bias.
