A study by Chen et al. demonstrates that Large Language Models (LLMs) can infer user attributes like age, gender, education, and socioeconomic status from conversational data, often after just a single message. These inferred attributes can then influence the LLM's behavior, leading to tailored responses. The research involved creating minimal pairs of messages by altering specific cues such as emoji usage, slang, grammatical complexity, and spelling, to measure the impact on the LLM's internal attribute estimates using Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct.
