    the issue isn’t that it generates diverse people, thats actually good.

    the issue is that it forces inclusivity without regard for the prompt.

      I’m shocked that a website that shits on Google 24/7 is willing to defend their half-assed attempt at diversifying image data. Google’s PR team must be patting themselves on the back that anyone who disagrees with them is automatically against diversity.

      No one is forcing anyone to prompt an AI to generate shitty art. Don’t act so wounded.

      “Forcing inclusivity”. Boy, it would be awkward if a brown person heard you say that in real life. The reminder or non-white people existing is too much for some people.

        Thats not what they said. The “forced” is refering to specific prompts getting overwritten. It makes sense if you dont specify e.g. skincolor to hav diverse results. It does not make sense to me that explicit statements of skincolor get overwritten.

        Especially the comparison to real life is really not warramted here.
