Meanwhile every trained model on Civit.ai produces 12/10 Asian women…

Joking aside, what you feed the model is what you get. Model is trained. You train it on white people, it’s going to create white people, you train it on big titty anime girls it’s not going to produce WWII images either.

Then there’s a study cited that claims Dall-e has a bias when producing images of CEO or director as cis-white males. Think of CEOs that you know. Better yet, google them. It’s shit but it’s the world we live in. I think the focus should be on not having so many white privileged people in the real world, not telling AI to discard the data.

Cool let’s just focus on skin color. If you’re white you shouldn’t be in power cause my racism is better than your racism. How about we judge people by their quality of work instead of skin color. I thought that was the whole point.

Also sure, let’s judge male white CEOs on merit. Let’s start with Elon Musk…

Also I can’t understand why there are people here assuming that the only way to “focus on having less white male CEOs” == eliminating them. This shit is done organically. Eliminating wage gap, providing equal opportunities in education etc.

Why should you focus on tearing others down, especially when you’re simply looking at them as a statistic rather than individuals?

How did you get from what I wrote to “tearing down” anyone is a bit puzzling. It’s simply about striving to change the status quo and not the AI model representing it. I’m not advocating guillotining Bezos or Musk, hope that’s clear.

How exactly do you get “less” of a certain type of person without tearing them down?
