Cut down on the grandstanding maybe. It's clear from its descriptions and what we known now that they just carelessly added "diverse ethnicities and genders" or whatever to prompts across the board to compensate for a model that otherwise clearly would have defaulted to just spitting out pictures of white people for most prompts. That's not part of some nefarious agenda to destroy Truth and history but literally just trying to cover their asses because Google has a history of accidental racism (e.g. the "tagging Black people as gorillas" incident a while back).
Pretending that a shoddy AI image generated with a blatant inability to produce consistent output is a "serious risk" is ridiculous. The thing wasn't even able to give you a picture of the founding fathers that didn't look like a Colors of Benetton ad. I struggle to imagine what tangible risk this "misinfo" would have. Norwegians being the wrong color? And what harm does that do? Bad assumptions about the prevalence of sickle cell anemia?
