The behaviour seems perfectly reasonable to me. They are not in the business of reflecting reality, they are in the business of creating it. To me what you call wokeness seems like a pretty good improvement

You want large tech companies "creating reality" on behalf of everyone else? They're not even democratic institutions that we vote on. You trust they will get it right? Our benevolent super rich overlords.

Its not really a question about want, its a question about facts. Their actions will make a significant mark on the future. So far it seems like they are trying to promote positive changes such as inclusion and equality. Which is far far far fucking really infinitely far better than trying to promote exclusion and inequality

Can you please explain how outright refusing to draw an image with from the prompt "white male scientist", and instead giving a lecture on how their race is irrelevant to their occupation, but then happily drawing the requested image when prompted for "black female scientist", is promoting inclusion and equality?

It is pretty clear to me.

Reality has a bias, most scientist in the world are white males.

This IA is overtuned in the opossite direction to inspire kids who have not ever seen a person like them, not white, in those kind of jobs.

[QuizzicalCarbon]

Saying most scientists in the world are white males seems like a very Anglo-centric perspective, at least based on the numbers available from statista.com.

[int_19h]

Most scientists in the world are either Indian or Chinese. And, either way, that's not the point here.

He can't.

[whatwhaaaaat]

You are so right! Just not the way you want to be.

Google and the rest of “techs” ham fisted approach has opened the eyes of millions to the bigotry these companies are forcing on everyone in the name of “improvement” as you put it.

There’s a huge difference between filling in gaps with diversity and refusing to make innocuous pictures a user explicitly asked for—except only when “white” is involved while making any picture with black people in it even when ahistorical.

[smugglerFlynn]

This switch might flip instantaneously.

They always seem to forget that we want to protect them too

If it's a question of facts, why are you allowing blind assumptions to lead your opinion? Do you have sources and evidence for their agenda that matches your beliefs?
