You're asking for more diversity in article images
Inb4 they replace the logos with logos of unrelated companies.
Just like Netflix.
Netflix was the king of over doing it on just about all fronts. For a while, they went absolutely crazy with the non-english subs. No, my account wasn't leaked or anything but I do think Netflix really wanted me to learn several other languages.
Currently, "my recommendations" are the complete opposite of the kind of shows I watch and just about every movie is #1 in the US if you look at enough Netflix accounts.
(The king of shit recommendations is YouTube. Did you have to make it through an intro to find out that it's the wrong subject? Here! Let's completely fill your feed with those kinds of videos now!)
Sir, kindly remember the Wadsworth Constant when browsing YouTube.
Every show on netflix has at least one homosexual couple. It's hilarious once you start pointing it out.
How many of those have heterosexual couples too? If they do, is that hilarious as well?
What about hetero couples in every show everywhere though? Also hilarious?
I do know what you mean. But I'm taking this in another direction to point out that, Christ, a lot of writers seem unable to not make the male and female leads of anything fall in love for no reason. Literally most of the forced romance is hetero romance.
True! Can there be no other kinds of subplots?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“It’s clear that this feature missed the mark,” said a blog post Friday from Prabhakar Raghavan, a senior vice president who runs Google’s search engine and other businesses.
In a 2022 technical paper, the researchers who developed Imagen warned that generative AI tools can be used for harassment or spreading misinformation “and raise many concerns regarding social and cultural exclusion and bias.” Those considerations informed Google’s decision not to release “a public demo” of Imagen or its underlying code, the researchers added at the time.
Since then, the pressure to publicly release generative AI products has grown because of a competitive race between tech companies trying to capitalize on interest in the emerging technology sparked by the advent of OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT.
Microsoft had to adjust its own Designer tool several weeks ago after some were using it to create deepfake pornographic images of Taylor Swift and other celebrities.
Studies have also shown AI image-generators can amplify racial and gender stereotypes found in their training data, and without filters they are more likely to show lighter-skinned men when asked to generate a person in various contexts.
University of Washington researcher Sourojit Ghosh, who has studied bias in AI image-generators, said Friday he was disappointed that Raghavan’s message ended with a disclaimer that the Google executive “can’t promise that Gemini won’t occasionally generate embarrassing, inaccurate or offensive results.”
The original article contains 807 words, the summary contains 227 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
The SALAMI situation is so bad.
Problem: Our training data is super racist, so it always generates white people!
Solution: Modify the prompts so that when a user asks for "a picture of a man" 10% of the time it is changed to "a picture of a BLACK man".
New problem: When the user says "A picture of a Nazi" 10% of the time our fix interprets that as "A picture of a BLACK Nazi"
Funny, all of modern media is overcompensating for diversity
