I also wouldn’t say it was conscious bias either. I don’t think it’s intentionally developed in that way.

The fact still remains though whether conscious or unconscious, it’s potentially harmful to people of other races. Sure it’s an issue with just graphic generation now. What about when it’s used to identify criminals? When it’s used to filter between potential job candidates?

The possibilities are virtually endless, but if we don’t start pointing out and addressing any type of bias, it’s only going to get worse.

You said yourself you hate inherent bias yet attempt to justify the result by saying if used again it’s just going to produce another white face.

that’s the problem

It’s a racial bias baked into these AIs based on their training models.
