Why is the only image featuring non-Asian men the one under the horse?
- z3dd 8mo agothey explicitly called for that in the prompt
- wtcactus 8mo agoBut why? That image actually puzzled me. Does it have some background context? Some historical legend or something of the like?
- joeycodes 8mo agoIt is Lunar New Year season right now, 2026 is year of the horse, there is celebratory horse imagery everywhere in many Asian countries right now, so this image could be interpreted as East trampling West. I have no way to know the intention of the person at Qwen who wrote this, but you can form your own conclusions from the prompt: A muscular, robust adult brown horse stands proudly, its forelegs heavily pressing between the shoulder blades and spine of a reclining man. Its hind legs are taut, its neck held high, its mane flying against the wind, its nostrils flared, and its eyes sharp and focused, exuding a primal sense of power. The subdued man is a white male...

- goga-piven 8mo agoExactly why did they choose this prompt with a white person and not an Asian person, as in all the other examples?
- andruby 8mo agoIs the problem the position/horse or that Qwen mostly shows asian people? Do western AI models mostly default to white people?

- viraptor 8mo ago> they mostly default to black people You're referring to a case of one version of one model. That's not "mostly" or "default to".
- raincole 8mo agoOut of curiosity I just tried this prompt: > Generate a photo of the founding fathers of a future, non-existing country. Five people in total. with Nano Banana Pro (the SOTA). I tried the same prompt 5 times and every time black people are the majority. So yeah, I think the parent comment is not that far off.
- KingMob 8mo agoI mean it's still far off, because they said "historical context", i.e., the actual past, but your prompt is about a hypothetical future. (I suspect you tried a prompt about the original founding fathers, and found it didn't make that mistake any more.)
- protocolture 8mo agoI guess other people aren't as hyper sensitive to these things as yourself.
