Warning: Objects in this mirror may appear uglier than you wish.
That algorithms trained on human biases exhibits human biases is no
surprise. There are no neutral images. Unless you point cameras
randomly at any and all objects in the world, every single training
image must pass through the filter of human selection. Unlike our ears
and microphones that are omnidirectionally receptive we point our head
and eyes at specific objects, and the camera is a technological
facsimile of that process. When it comes to Art, to paintings, one
could hardly choose a stronger filter for the inherently human
elements of the visual psyche - even if you limit it to bowls of fruit
and sunsets.
> Imagen can be safely integrated into user-facing applications
I am intrigued by the use of the word safely here. Safe for whom,
from what and to what end? Micrological thought control? To hide us
from the truth about our own psyche, individual or collective?
