That's almost for the best. The representation of non-European ethnic facial features / skin tones in renaissance art appeared to mostly be one of two groupings:
1) Accurate, naturalistic portrayals that almost certainly had an actual human sitting and;
2) Color choices / features that are to humans of other skin tones, what that picture of a cat in the still life painting is to our feline friends: https://twitter.com/chelsesaurusrex/status/995127939585851392 https://twitter.com/chelsesaurusrex/status/99512793958585139...
There are some really interesting examples in this article (although explicitly African):

- ggggtez 6y agoIt's not really kosher to suggest that it's "for the best" that it doesn't work well for other people. :) It's not like paintings of darkskinned people don't exist for the AI to learn from, even if you don't like the style that was used at that time.
