Just the other day I asked AI to create an image showing a diverse group of people, it didn’t include a single black person. I asked it to rectify and it couldn’t do it. This went on a number of times before I gave up. There’s still a long way to go.
TL;DR: Woman missing an arm couldn’t get AI image generators to generate an amputee. It apparently didn’t know how. Now it does and the woman says the representation is important. </tldr>
I guess it couldn’t find enough art to steal of amputees for it to form enough of a basis to draw them? And so in reaction to the backlash (such as it was), they gave it more data?
Representation…in AI image generation?
The idea that this is something anyone should want is hard to wrap my head around.
If I could opt out of being deepfake-able, I would.
That’s what the article said. I would opt-out as well.
Image generation often happens in a kind of region by region way, too, so not just continuing the arm might be hard.
It’s annoying that she asked ChatGPT why it was doing that and they reported the answer uncritically.
