Meta’s AI image generator is coming under fire for its apparent struggles to create images of couples or friends from different racial backgrounds.

    It’s a problem with models right now. Parts of your prompt contaminate each other, making it hard to make a long prompt and get all the separate elements you want.

    This paper proposes a solution to this issue.

      I’m thinking it’s an issue that’s more along the law of averages in the training data. Interracial images don’t tend to have descriptions specifying that the content is interracial, or which individual is which race, but there are many photo’s of individuals who are known to be of a specific race, so it falls back to the stronger probabilistic confidence in race x OR y OR z and completely ignores the weak “AND” correlation coefficients.

      Rtfa. The prompts don’t say “interracial” they just say things like “show an Asian man with his white wife.”

    duh it’s not surprising, generative ai sucks at generating multiple objects with conflicting traits. e.g. if you ask it to generate a white cat and an orange cat, it’s very likely to fail.

    Not as hilarious as Google having to shut theirs down over shit like the inspirational diversity of Americas founding fathers but still funny.

      We tried it in class, after hearing about the US founding fathers being black and Nazis being surprisingly diverse with Asian women in the ranks too. Finnish Medieval couple was a black guy with an Asian wife. Maybe the AI was thinking of Netflix version of Finnish history.

    It’s because everyone is born racist/prejudice, the AI is only a reflection of our true nature.
