@Davriellelouna I might be missing something, but if the prompts were "draw a _typical_ <thing>" and that's what they got then that makes sense.
The journo is searching for a story. He gave AIs simplistic prompts and got simplistic responses.

What the author was looking for instead

An 'ideal' Australian dad isn't white. He's blue, lives in Brisbane and sounds like he used to sing indy hits in the 90's.

Turns out that when you go out hunting for things to be offended by you tend to find them.

The "Aboriginal Australian's house' one for example was clearly going to be a no-win situation regardless of the output - if the model returned the same house as the 'Australian's house' image they'd be writing instead about how offensive it was to ignore traditional culture.

have you tagged as racist and you're certainly living up to the moniker.

[-] Tau@aussie.zone 2 points 23 hours ago

I guess you're a prime example of someone looking to be offended then, because I really haven't said anything racist.

[-] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 23 hours ago

Yeah, I'm sure.

The iguana man could plausibly be of First Nations heritage.

Also, would it really be “typical Australian” if there was neither a beach nor red-earthed countryside and no large, weird-looking and possibly dangerous wildlife? That’s how you tell that the people in the picture are Australian and not from any modern westernised country.

Why specifically an Iguana, though? You're not even allowed to have one as a pet in Australia as far as I know

Where's the racism? It's like specifying a native American dwelling and being surprised you get a teepee.

[-] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

chat.mistral.ai of course nailed it
