Even just the race of the default "person" is impossible to set in an absolute manner. It feels like one could tackle this by having a checkbox of various filters that add specific biases. Like what race do you want your default person to be?
They could even put the forced-diversity-overdrive filter as the default, and for "real mode" display a disclaimer about it having biases that are reflections of all the garbage human biases that have been fed into these systems. Then when the political hacks of either team post pictures that are just obvious results of the filter they selected, they can be ignored.
I suspect the stopper is that these machine learning systems are being marketed as superintelligent "AI" which can solve all of the world's problems, and having to baby them with settings would be a recognition that they're actually just imperfect tools.
