Because factory workers don't wear uniforms that look like that, ever since they picked up a bad association circa 1945. Google it - you won't find any photos of factory workers dressed like that.
- browningstreet 1y agoI think the clip is possibly (and hopefully unintentionally) problematic, but I wouldn't go so far as to say Nazi. If you google "Paddington prison" you'll see a similar striped outfit. So prison labor.. still not awesome, but not necessarily Nazi. And, well, maybe relevant to mass electronic goods manufacturing in certain countries. That said, he works at Midjourney.. so it's a weird blind spot, if it's a blind spot.

- browningstreet 1y agoYup, hence "similar". Benefit of the doubt.. as the creator is also young.
- slightwinder 1y ago> If you google "Paddington prison" you'll see a similar striped outfit. Horizontal Stripes were common in US-Prisons until the early 20th Century [1]. While vertical Stripes were common in Nazi-Camps. It's a very distinct difference, and I would think the source-material has more data about the horizontal than the vertical stripes. So it's fair to ask which specific prompt they had to get pictures from Nazi-labour-camps. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auburn_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auburn_system
