Other models have biases in outputs and conform to stereotypes, but when used as designed, as a creative tool, that's not a real issue as long as you can correct the output with a simple prompt adjustment.
The unique issue with Gemini is that it would flat out refuse to follow simple prompts such as "Please generate an image of a white family" because they "weren't diverse and inclusive" enough, but if you changed "white" to any other qualifier, it happily obliged.
- aredox 3y agoHey, look at the first website returned in "normal" google for "Please generate an image of a white family": https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/white-american-family.html?sortBy=relevant https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/white-american-family.html... And Bing? https://www.gettyimages.ch/fotos/white-family https://www.gettyimages.ch/fotos/white-family OTOH, if you think that "Please generate an image of a white family" is good use of those behemoth language models and all the rsssources poured in...

- true_religion 3y agoOpen Ai had this same issue when they came out because they modified prompts to always include words to generate a diverse set of races. They corrected the guidance in their prompt instructions. It became a non issue.
- glimshe 3y agoOpenAI isn't involved in the daily lives of over a billion people. Google's mistakes, for now, have much bigger impact and the problem is especially egregious as the company has near-infinite resources for preventing it. Also, Google has always adopted a fairly radical and political stance in the DEI subject (relative to the cultural average pretty much everywhere), so it's no surprise that people are making a much bigger deal in this case.
- sundvor 3y agoIf you ask it for any kind of family picture, other than White, eg Hispanic, Black, Asian it acts like it should. Ask for White, and you get a picture without a single Caucasian. Deity forbid you ask for a Caucasian family though - their A.I. police will pull you over for sensitivity training. It's hard to see the engine as anything other than hot garbage after a few simple tests like that.
