Google's hidden AI diversity prompts lead to outcry over inaccurate images

Bias exists in training data generally because it reflects reality.

Considering the example give the article, the average CEO is a white male; so surely you would expect that unless you explicitly asked for diversity!?

It's should be down to users to alter their prompts if they wish to generate images outside of statistical norms.

I disagree. We aren't telling kids "With your parents' socio-economic background and skin color you cannot become whatever you want.", after all.

ideals vs reality

That's an easy way to launder our bias of choice to algorithms, but thankfully we're not falling for it.

Diversity should really be a setting, like Temperature.

There's something humorous to me about an outcry over generated, fictional images being somehow "inaccurate".

When a company puts secret prompts into their AI it should be called "Robocopping."
