Image generators are probably the most egregious examples bias in AI. This is brilliantly described in
this post, which takes us through a visual journey of what would be generated with a basic prompt technique. We can’t just blame AI - it has been pre-trained on existing images, which have themselves been selected for by human beings wanting to confirm a stereotype. AI might indeed ‘flatten’ the world into 2D simplifications, that it is doing so on bedrock already being flattened, by us.
