Open-weight LLMs show no output bias on matched mortgage applications differing only by racially-associated names, yet retain and amplify demographic representations that steering interventions can causally activate to produce near-complete asymmetric decision reversals.

LLMs organize prompted social roles along a dominant, stable, and causally steerable granularity axis in representation space that runs from micro to macro levels.
A proposed pipeline shows LLMs introduce detectable race and gender biases when summarizing life narratives, creating potential for representational harm in research.
Chatbot AI systems often fail complex needs while projecting authority, contributing to deskilling, labor displacement, economic concentration, and high environmental costs, so alternative pluralistic and task-specific designs are needed.
