Automated image generators are often accused of spreading harmful stereotypes, but studies usually only look at MidJourney. Other tools make serious efforts to increase diversity in their output, but effective remedies remain elusive.
Yeah, AI generated images reflect various biases from training data
Who engages in activity X the most
And photographs themselves
And posts those photographs online
And labels them in a way that an AI might put correlate them
If most champaigne pictures are taken with selfie making white girls and eating waffles are black families (something I actually ran across earlier on), that’s going to be the bias in the AI images as well
