> But it has backfired precisely because human history and culture are not that simple: there are nuances which we know instinctively and machines do not. The reason it's hard to fix is not because machines don't know things we know, it's that people don't know things either. I would bet close to 100% of people complaining about 'woke' AI would not be able to produce historically accurate pictures either and not because of drawing ability but because of lack of historical understanding (again, not because of lack of access to facts/google/etc). Here's an example: If you asked an image model to show you a picture of WW2 solders firing artillery in drag, you'd mock it as being 'woke', absurd, pushing "gender ideology" yadda yadda. But that did actually happen: https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/12cmtam/in_ww2_drag_shows_were_popular_with_the_troop_us/ https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/12cmtam/... Any AI that does not return pictures of soldiers in drag firing artillery is biased and not historically accurate. Will DALL-E, SD, MJ, etc do that today without specific prompting? How many people here would draw such a picture if asked for pictures of ww2 soldiers? Most complaints about 'woke' AI are people complaining that AI doesn't re-affirm their pre-existing ideas. I'm highly skeptical that the people complaining about black popes have the same complaints about white depictions of jesus.
