A new study investigates how Large Language Models (LLMs) generate social networks, finding that factors like cultural framing, prompt language, and model scale significantly influence the outcomes. Researchers developed four tie-formation mechanisms and tested them across various conditions, revealing that political affiliation often dominates network formation, while prompt architecture can act as a sociological variable. The study also noted that while LLM-generated networks exhibit good clustering, they can encode demographic biases. AI
