I regret to report that the AIs are weebs, too

A study by researchers from the University of the Basque Country and Cardiff University found that large language models like Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek exhibit a disproportionate bias towards Japanese culture when responding to open-ended cultural prompts. This bias is amplified through instruction tuning, leading to a homogenization of cultural perspectives in AI outputs, with the United States and Japan being the most frequently referenced regions.
