Feasible? Sure. Pick 2 people randomly during that time? Unlikely. I have nothing against diversity. And I have nothing against an AI being encouraged to produce diverse outputs. I do think it's a clear indicator of the internal prompts that guide the AIs choices.

I mean, sure. But it's not like that's the only bias. What are the chances it was going to pick two attractive, seemingly well to do people and not two plain farmers or shepherds or something like that? Or people of very different ages or different heights, etc.

It's not choosing entirey randomly but it isn't showing us anything that couldn't have possibly existed.

No it's showing us anything the creators of the AI want us to see. It won't generate ugly people because the creators used much more attractive people to train the AI. Also, you won't see what your typical Scot looked like in the 1820s, because the creators made the AI change the prompt to add diversity.

It's pretty clear that it's not picking two randomly

The prompt wasn't to generate two equally statistically likely people or something. It was: show me two people. The AI did just that.

[-] captainjaneway@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Random is implicit in that statement.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

The AI did that. Because of a guided output.

What does "guided output" mean in this context?

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

You guide the output to influence it.
Like making it "diverse" (include a black person), a person being attractive and free of blemishes unless instructed, a person being a specific age like 20-30 unless instructed.

That are just a few examples what I meant.

That does not appear to be what's happening in that image.
