That is fair! I was being inflammatory with my DEI remark and could easily be viewed as an "ad hominem attack."
I would expect these models to misrepresent reality until we do the near-impossible: convince a large and diverse swath of people to understand and work with each other, work with ML models, and contribute to shared datasets that we can train our models with. I have vastly oversimplified what it would take to create an accurate world model, however, the main point is there. We need feedback from everyone. And likely, feedback from more than just people.
Why would Google/Adobe want to artificially increase diversity in its training set? Well, there is a lack of diversity in the training set in reality, so the developers are likely trying to balance something that can easily be seen as racist or prejudiced. Given America's history of how it treats people with different cultures, religions, or skin colors, this should not come as a surprise. Other countries have made similar errors in their ways throughout history.
