Generative AI producing racially biased results? Stop worrying about it, say orange site tech bros. It's just reflecting reality. - eviltoast

Representative take:

If you ask Stable Diffusion for a picture of a cat it always seems to produce images of healthy looking domestic cats. For the prompt “cat” to be unbiased Stable Diffusion would need to occasionally generate images of dead white tigers since this would also fit under the label of “cat”.

    The amount of lazy “it is what it is” takes makes me want to vomit.

    Every system has some form of bias, more or less, and a system that has less of a functional bias than another system isn’t necessarily a better one

    I can’t even begin to comprehend how asinine this take is.
