And yet nobody said anything when this was my picture of the pharaohs in the 6th grade history book.

There is a slot machine at work that depicts a Roman Centurion with blond hair and blue eyes called "Battle for Troy"

They should keep that one in, it's factually correct
I guarantee that the person who requested these images specifically requested no white people.
I honestly think AI image generation is fundamentally useless if it's too heavily controlled to prevent negative press. It's shit anyway, but it's so god damn annoying having to dance around the ten bazillion different things they're censoring for liberal sensibilities.
It fundamentally makes it impossible to create anything provocative with it, and that's literally what any actually good art has always been. Same goes for memes and shit. The good ones are always riding some sort of edge.
Funny side story: ChatGPT 3.5 refuses to recognize Palestine as living under apartheid. If you ask it what are the conditions of apartheid, it will list them clearly and use South Africa & Jim Crow U.S. as examples. If you ask it if Palestine fits the same criteria it just laid out, it will agree, but will refuse to say it definitively, only responding with a million different variants of "it's a complex issue."
AI bros should have to do prison time with hard labor.
100% agree.
What great harm is being prevented by keeping me from making spacesuit Hitler on a toilet blasting off in a cloud of diarrhea?
It’s really clear that the point of the guardrails is to cover up the fact that all the models are trained on insanely racist datasets to begin with and even without the explicit racism in the datasets it would draw back the curtain on exactly how fascist modern liberalism has become by dint of its MO, figure out a visual representation of what you’re looking for and show it to you.
Surprise, the aryan mommy milkers machine can’t be trusted to present history!
it would draw back the curtain on exactly how fascist modern liberalism has become
For who though? Surely not the vast majority people within the imperial core who would see nothing wrong with it. Is it just the fair trade coffee problem? Liberals not wanting to feel guilty?
Yes!
When someone asks for woman holding child outside beautiful perfect photorealistic trending on artstation and gets back the aforementioned aryan breast elemental holding a blond haired, blue eyed baby with the rhineland in the background they might just chalk it up to chance. Twice is a coincidence. Twenty times with only one brunette whose skin tone just happens to be the same color as sun bleached bone might make a person wonder why the ai image generator only makes white people and seems to think the continuum of hair and skin is pamela anderson to elvira with a few stops along the way.
The problem is clear to anyone who did this: the datasets used for ai training have served to distill and codify the implicit bigotry across the internet at best.
How do you fix implicit bias? No, you can’t address the history of oppression that gave rise to it! You can only use the extant toolset of inclusion to fix the racist ai.
That’s what the problem is, btw, the racist ai. It’s not the racist society’s ai.

It's only good for generating those meaningless header images for the unending tech blog articles I get on my phones news feed.
The number of postgres articles I've seen with elephants racing cars or paying ping pong is astonishing.
imo it’s a great example of the whole “liberals are conservatives and conservatives are liberals” thing. They go back and forth in a race to the bottom to make this tech useless because they’re both constantly petitioning to make it behave as inoffensively as possible.

this is like crying over a blind casting of shakespear but more embarrassing by several orders of magnitude
I remember I once cried over a blind casting of Shakespeare. I kept telling them that they needed to have Braille scripts but they just wouldn't listen to me
Are you sure they weren't just deaf?

AI is so unfathomably fucked because unless companies like google permanently prefix every query with "ethnically ambiguous", it will never generate people of colour unless you ask them to generate images of a litter picker or something; the AI itself is white supremacist and this is their solution to it

I will fight in solidarity with the Woke AI Overmind against the Fascist AI Overmind.
Take these, Gordon, you can use them to generate staticElectricity. Server boards are highly susceptible to a localized minor increase of the electromagnetic force.
Look Gordon, a rope!
Used to be everything was white washed. Can't anymore because woke.

I like that what appears to be an attempt at a swastika on the bottom two look more like a broken # on one and a ≄ on the other.

italians confirmed as founding faddahs 
Ayyyyy I'm foundin' 'ere!
You come to me, on this? The day of mah faddah's founding?
Honestly they should have just cranked it up. Fuck stereotypes, make it so that if you want a picture of a blonde haired, blue eyed man your prompt has to be something like "draw a picture of a typical Ethiopian".

absurdly ~~woke~~ based
It's the same reason why some other generator would randomly print "ethnically ambigious" on some images or make Homer Simpson brown. The instinct to challenge white as the default in media is nice I suppose, even if done poorly.

incredibly based
Viking is something you do (coastal piracy), not a gender or an ethnicity. These are legit vikings.
No they're not. If you want to make reference to the actual history of people who went a viking, then you can't do the "cool undercut" shit. You need that dude to have a fucked up skullet, and be wearing an old single color tunic under mail and half his weight in mismatched geegaws

MFW the AI says something woke because I was typing in random catch phrases to trick it into being woke:
Very important thing to worry about, whether or not the corpo chatbot is "woke" or not
