Abstract
This study investigates biases present in large language models (LLMs) when utilized for narrative tasks, specifically in game story generation and story ending classification. Our experiment involves using popular LLMs, including GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and Llama 2, to generate game stories and classify their endings into three categories: positive, negative, and neutral. The results of our analysis reveal a notable bias towards positive-ending stories in the LLMs under examination. Moreover, we observe that GPT-4 and Llama 2 tend to classify stories into uninstructed categories, underscoring the critical importance of thoughtfully designing downstream systems that employ LLM-generated outputs. These findings provide a groundwork for the development of systems that incorporate LLMs in game story generation and classification. They also emphasize the necessity of being vigilant in addressing biases and improving system performance. By acknowledging and rectifying these biases, we can create more fair and accurate applications of LLMs in various narrative-based tasks.

Notes
- 1.
Converting a raw text string into a key-value object in memory.
- 2.
As the temperature increases, the output from the model becomes more stochastic. The possible value range for ChatGPT is from 0 to 2, where 1 is the default value.
