Of course it has. Again, these things regularly give humans extra fingers and arms. They don't even know what humans fundamentally look like.

On the flip side, humans are shitty at recognizing bias. This comment thread stems from someone complaining the AI only rarely generated white people, but that's statistically accurate. It feels biased to someone in a majority-white nation with majority-white friends and coworkers, but it fundamentally isn't.

I don't doubt that there are some attempts to get LLMs to go outside the "white westerner" bubble in training sets and prompts. I suspect the extent of it is also deeply exaggerated by those who like to throw around woke-this and woke-that as derogatories.

A very impressive display of crimestop you've got going in this thread. How did you end up like this?

So the AI is simultaneously too dumb to figure out what humans look like, but also so super smart that it uses precisely accurate racial proportions when generating people (not because it's been specifically adjusted to, but naturally)? Bullshit.

You're dodging the question. Do you actually believe the reason that the last example in the article looks very much not like a man is a deep technical issue, or a DEI initiative? If the former, how much are you willing to bet? If the latter, why are you throwing out these insincere arguments?

Congratulations, here is your gold medal in mental gymnastics. Enough now.

It literally refuses to generate images of white people when prompted directly while not only happily obliging but only producing that specific race in all 4 results for all others. It’s discriminatory and based on your inability to see that, you may be too.
