Images I make with ChatGPT will sporadically feature a diverse group of people, looking like a college application press shot. I think this is OpenAI trying to combat the training data of DALL-E.
I don’t think Stable Diffusion has ever generated a person of color for me unless I specifically included it in the prompt, for instance.
It does it's just extremely stereotypical, you'll encounter them in parts of the datasets that will have them better represented in the source data like if you ask for fashion photography you'll get more black and east asian people, less south asians.
Raw Dall-E probably does this too and OpenAI is embarrassed by it which explains why they waste tokens every request trying to hide that their data set has what they consider bad representation.

By person of color do you just mean black people?
Because the top SD models (and I don't mean the anime ones) are notorious for generating asian people by default, to the point that people often put 'asian' in the negative prompt when they want to generate generate non-asians.
Meanwhile, to a “brown” person, I’m considered white when other southeast Asians and “whites” consider me brown.
Can we stop with the color thing and just go by nationality or region? The fact that American universities ask for my race really threw me off, especially considering some don’t even have a “prefer not to say” option.
