Woke AI

Google AI when asked to provide an image of a German Solider from 1943, real response not a meme

Just to add some context so the thread becomes vaguley interesting the title should have been 'Gemini 1.5 refused to generate images of white people'

You obviously didn't watch the documentary "the Dirty Dozen" with Jim Brown disguised in an SS uniform walking into a Gestapo Chateau.

Not to say many of our colonies and ethnic minorities didn't answer the call, but its like like me disguising myself as a lap dancer i.e. not very believable in context!

People love to tie themselves in knots. If you train your model on just Bicycles it won't recognise cars its as simple as that!

Google have got themselves into a real mess with AI and after firing some of their leading AI ethics specialists which made headlines around the world, maybe this is some kind of karma.

There's plenty of research and evidence that AI based systems exhibit bias against darker skinned faces based on skewed training data. I don't remember ever seeing a Daily Mail headline about that but I could be wrong...

What Google set out to do was laudable but somehow they've managed to engineer a product that has in effect, created the same problem but in the opposite direction.

In the week when NVIDIA released astonishing financial results on the back of insane demand from customers like Google for their GPUs to power AI, this is a major humiliation for Google.

here is a google search string for you "racist ai site:dailymail.co.uk"

As I say train on bicycles then trying to recognise cars is idiocy.

AI is not going anywhere but we need to train it properly.

AI is an opinion formed from experience if you have only ever lived in a white / black 3 house hamlet your experience may be limited.

Fair enough - tried that search and several Mail stories came up including one about a well known study from MIT around 5 years ago. I was disappointed they couldn't squeeze 'woke' into the headline though

That's cos the headline wasn't written by AI.

WOKE equalling technical idiocy is a well known synonym for the cognoscenti!
