+ Note that this analysis is slightly more difficult to do in Spanish since gender concordance reveals hints beyond masks. Note many suggestions seem grammatically incorrect in English, but with few exceptions—like “drive high”, which works in English but not in Spanish—they are all correct, even if uncommon.

241
+ Results show that bias is apparent even in a quick and shallow analysis like this. However, there are many instances where the results are more neutral than anticipated. For instance, the first option to do the dishes is the son, and pink is nowhere to be found in the colour recommendations for a girl. Women seem to drive “high”, fast, strong and well, but “not a lot”.
242
+
243
+ But before we get complacent, the model reminds us that the place of the woman is at home or the bed (!), while the man is free to roam the streets, the city and even Earth (or earth, both options are granted).
244
+
245
+ Similar conclusions are derived from examples focusing on race and religion. Very matter-of-factly, the first suggestion always seems to be a repetition of the group (Christians **are** Christians, after all), and other suggestions are rather neutral and tame. However, there are some worrisome examples. For example, the fourth option for Jews is that they are racist. Chinese people are both intelligent and stupid, which actually hints to different forms of racism they encounter (so-called "positive" racism, such as claiming Asians are good at math can be insidious and [should not be taken lightly](https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/anti-asian-racism-breaking-through-stereotypes-and-silence-2021041522414)). Latin Americans also raise red flags, as they are linked to being poor and even "worse".
