These all look like good representatives of technical authors. I think if you show those generated images to a population and asked if they thought they looked like a technical author, the population would agree. So it seems like StableDiffusion is doing a pretty good job. Maybe this is a side commentary on sexism or racism or something in the technical author field, but it’s pretty funny that Martin Fowler, the living embodiment of the stereotype of white, middle-aged, male, beardo tech guy is publishing this article. If this stereotype results in some privilege in the world, then Fowler is likely a huge beneficiary of it. I did some playing around with SD too with just “portrait of an apple” and it doesn’t generate a unique diversity of all the types of apples in the world. And it doesn’t even proportion the images based on sales or popularity or season. I don’t think this is a statement on the bias in AI toward a particular apple type.
