> when querying for "barack obama" on a model trained on a dataset that has never seen Barack Obama the model somehow generates images of random black men wearing suits[1]. This is, in my non-expert opinion, a clear indication that the model's knowledge of the world is leaking through to the image generator.
That's super interesting. It's not just black men in suits either. It's older black men, with the American flag in the background who look like they might be speaking. Clearly the model has a pretty in-depth knowledge of the context surrounding Barack Obama.
I would say the image generation model is also doing a pretty great job at stitching those concepts together in a way that's coherent. It's not a random jumble. It's kind of what you would expect if you asked a human artist to draw a black American president.
