Oh no minorities are overrepresented, quick, do something!
There is a difference between having actually diverse data sources and secretly adding the word "diverse" to each image generation prompt
Never claimed they had diverse data sources - they probably don’t.
My point is that that when minorities are underrepresented, which is the default case in GenAI, the (white, male) public tends to accept that.
I like that they tried to fix the issue of GenAI being racist and sexist. Even though the solution is obviously flawed: Better this than a racist model.
I can't believe someone has to spell this out for you, but here we go: an accurate picture of people from an era in which there was no diversity will, by definition, not be diverse.
The idea was noble, their implementation was ham fisted.
