It’s more complicated this specific tool itself IMHO. Stock photos have the same problem, where asking for a profession or a category will give mostly one kind of representation, and it’s up to the user to go dig further to find different representations. DALL-E being on par with stock photos biases could seem benign, but it also means these issues get propagated further more down the line, and the more AI generated images get popular, the worse it gets cemented (“it has always been that way”) and could actually displace niches where better images were being used until then.
