If you look closely at the response text that accompanies many of these images, you'll find recurring wording like "Here's a diverse image of ... showcasing a variety of ethnicities and genders". The fact that it uses the same wording strongly implies that this is coming out of the prompt used for generation. My bet is that they have a simple classifier for prompts trained to detect whether it requests depiction of a human, and appends "diverse image showcasing a variety of ethnicities and genders" to the prompt the user provided if so. This would totally explain all the images seen so far, as well as the fact that other models don't have this kind of bias.
