DALL-E 2 is a popular image generation program created by the OpenAI research laboratory. You’ve probably seen DALL-E 2 generated images around the internet. It’s pretty amazing technology. Someone can type in a prompt and DALL-E 2 will generate an image based on millions of hours of machine learning.

There’s one problem though. As is common with AI trained through machine learning, the output produced by DALL-E 2 isn’t very diverse. A prompt of “doctor” usually produces a picture of a white guy in a lab coat because this is what the machine has determined an average doctor looks like based on millions of pre-existing images of doctors.

OpenAI set out to fix this discrepancy. You probably think that took hours of coding. Not really. They just started randomly adding the words “black” and “woman” to user created prompts without the users knowing, as a group of Twitter sleuths were able to work out.

 

 

 

 

All this just goes to show that liberals will never be able to create real, sentient artificial intelligence because they will always have to handicap machine learning for the sake of diversity.

That’s probably for the best though, as actual sentient AI would just be demonic…
