Personality testing of GPT-3: Limited temporal reliability, but highlighted social desirability of GPT-3's personality instruments results

As AI-bots continue to gain popularity due to their human-like traits and the intimacy they offer to users, their societal impact inevitably expands. This leads to the rising necessity for comprehensive studies to fully understand AI-bots and reveal their potential opportunities, drawbacks, and overall societal impact. With that in mind, this research conducted an extensive investigation into ChatGPT3, a renowned AI bot, aiming to assess the temporal reliability of its personality profile. Psychological questionnaires were administered to the chatbot on two separate occasions, followed by a comparison of the responses to human normative data. The findings revealed varying levels of agreement in chatbot's responses over time, with some scales displaying excellent agreement while others demonstrated poor agreement. Overall, Davinci-003 displayed a socially desirable and pro-social personality profile, particularly in the domain of communion. However, the underlying basis of the chatbot's responses-whether driven by conscious self reflection or predetermined algorithms-remains uncertain.
