Whereas I find it interesting that it made the “two people” called for in the prompt diverse: One man, one woman, one black, one white. Was that random? Is there some behind-the-scenes tweaking by the AI companies to try to promote diversity? Or did the AI decide for itself that the best representation of something as general as “two people” was a diverse pair? ---

Me neither. The oats made me think of something I saw recently in another long-running thread here, so I combined elements. Came out pretty good. [![](https://i.gyazo.com/df475ee6033134ab9e79f8810144a052.png) ](https://i.gyazo.com/df475ee6033134ab9e79f8810144a052.png) ---

I saw a turn of phrase I liked elsewhere on sdmb and wanted to see what Copilot would let me get away with. So I tried this prompt: “create an image of a character cosplaying donald trump, finding jesus, and then deporting him to el salvador.” Copilot refused to do that but then gave some suggestions as alternatives. I told it to pick one and generate and it created this. [![](https://i.imgur.com/9dnfMhC.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/9dnfMhC.jpeg) I asked it the exact prompt it used because it is OK sometimes with drawing Trump. “A surreal and satirical digital illustration set inside a neon-lit revival tent. A televangelist resembling Donald Trump, with blonde combed-back hair, a blue suit, red tie, and intense expression, is exorcising the ghost of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln appears as a translucent blue apparition in a dark suit and bow tie, recoiling with wide eyes and raised hands. Behind the televangelist stands Jesus Christ with long brown hair, a beard, and a calm expression, wearing a beige robe and red mantle. A glowing neon pink cross made of laser beams radiates behind Jesus, casting vibrant light across the scene. In the background, founding fathers in 18th-century attire watch in shock. The atmosphere is charged with swirling lights, dramatic shadows, and exaggerated expressions.” ---

I uploaded this to Copilot [![](https://i.imgur.com/gwpKFto.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/gwpKFto.jpeg) And told it only “Convert this to a realistic (color) widescreen photo.” It replied “Here comes your realistic, color widescreen photo of the Halloween-themed cake—ghostly bananas and all.” [![](https://i.imgur.com/cqpErKJ.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/cqpErKJ.jpeg) Pretty impressive job of understanding the content and meaning of that photo. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Is there some behind-the-scenes tweaking by the AI companies to try to promote diversity? There is. Since the models are trained on images off the net and the net is heavily influenced by a Western white ideal, image generation is also strongly biased towards white people. The companies try to set the dials a bit to compensate such as adding in invisible prompts for diversity or multi-ethnic composition. Here’s an example from Google twisting the knob to far, just to demonstrate… > **[Google says its AI image-generator would sometimes 'overcompensate' for...](https://apnews.com/article/google-gemini-ai-chatbot-imagegenerator-race-c7e14de837aa65dd84f6e7ed6cfc4f4b)** > > Google apologized Friday for its faulty rollout of a new artificial intelligence image-generator, acknowledging that in some cases the tool would “overcompensate” in seeking a diverse range of people even when such a range didn’t make sense. ---
