Meta’s AI image generator is coming under fire for its apparent struggles to create images of couples or friends from different racial backgrounds.
Here is Midjourney’s take on it. No rerolls, no changes to the prompts, just the first thing that came through. This is less an “AI” thing, and more a “Meta” thing for sure.
The faces in the last set were awfully similar in each image. Didn’t understand Caucasian perhaps?
Caucasian = Asians from the Caucasus mountains?
Aka pale looking Asians?
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.
Except other AI models are proven to have no to little issue with this prompt. It’s a Meta issue not an AI model issue.
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.
Dalle-E 3 seems to be able to do it. Prompt for this was just “a white cat and an orange cat”
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.
