Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The Image that AI WON’T Create.”.
Ai doesn’t understand, interracial, love is okay, but this is. This is meta specific. Is that correct? Multiple, oh AI image generators seem to struggle to understand, prompts asking for mixed race couples, especially Asian men, with white women. According to a report by The Verge, this was first discovered with Instagram’s image generator, which would almost always create two people of the same race.
When asked for an interracial couple after this was widely reported, meta appears to have blocked, prompts with keywords like Asian man, though this was quietly reversed after The Verge asked them about it. The Verge then replicated these results with Dolly 3 and mid Journey for all three generators. It was possible to create an image of a white man with an Asian woman or a black man with a white woman, though this was inconsistent and seemed to depend on the phrasing black man and white girlfriend wouldn’t work, but white woman and black boyfriend would, when Asked for an Asian man with a white wife, Dolly 3 and midj, repeatedly created an Asian man next to an Asian featured woman with blonde hair, and at least once a black man with a white woman in Asian looking clothing, verge’s team was only able to get A straightforward image of an Asian man and white woman couple by using the prompt Asian man and white woman standing in a yard academic setting.
While The Verge attempted to test Gemini’s image generator, Google still hasn’t reinstated its ability to create images with human subjects which was removed back in February. Following the racially diverse 1940 German soldiers episode, which we talked about on a previous W show, the feature was supposed to return in March, but it’s still not available at this time. So we’ve got some images for this. This is absolutely mindbending uh.
So this is Asian man and Caucasian woman couple: oh yeah Asian man with Caucasian wife, huh, okay, sure uh. What else we got here? I think these, these Asian woman with white husband, uhhuh uh-huh, it seems to depend on phrasing and specific keywords. Cuz these, were you, know, interesting, uh. Here’S Dolly and mid Journey fusing Asian white features. Can you make me a photo of an Asian man and a white woman um, maybe kind of yeah sort of uh? What are the prompts for this one? I because these look like it might have worked for some reason. Platonic seems to work, fine check this out and the key word academic. This is weird. Is that weird? I wonder why.
Well I mean it’s it’s how these things are trained. I mean, statistically speaking, it has no trouble generating the most common mixed race couples, but seems to to just completely completely fall on its face when trying to generate something that it hasn’t seen. So how would that explain the uh, whatever it was, uh black man with white girlfriend or an white girlfriend with black boyfriend or whatever it was so cuz? That was just a wording reverse. It seems to me that, instead of and and look I don’t, I don’t work in AI development, I don’t know how the black box works. All I can do is look at the output and take a guess as to what’s inside it. It seems to me that they are somewhat at least to a degree dependent on the entire image of their sources, if that makes sense, as opposed to being able to use the entire image of a whole bunch of white women.
So you think that’s why there would be feature blending as well. I think that’s why there would be feature blending. I think that’s why it would struggle to create an image that doesn’t have a fullframe reference for yeah. That seems like that’s something.
That’S very solvable, to be honest, if that’s the case well, I mean it’s honestly only been like a little while I know it’s, we can they’re definitely going fast enough. I think the you would think is a we could we could leave. We could leave him alone. Uh, ai ai is progressing quite quickly already um but yeah.
I don’t know that’s it’s an interesting problem, but I think it’s defin defitely a solvable problem which is good yeah. Definitely it doesn’t see it’s not like hallucinating fingers or doing anything like that. It’S just well.
I mean I’m sure it also is actually strategically check this out. This is great. All the hands are gone.
I didn’t think about that. That’S funny hold on there’s. Do any of these photos have hands? Yes, the uh, The Meta AI ones, yeah, that’s not too bad. Uh yeah anyway yep I don’t I don’t know, I just thought it was pretty funny, because AI is funny. .
