    Actually Google made a huge success by training an AI to ignore personal characteristics like skin color or gender when generating images. It uses a “generic human average”, and that’s awesome!
    Normally models like these replicate categorization by (racial/gender) categories of the society it created them.

    Gemini completely misses categorization by these features. Of course it also loses the contemporary context, because the concepts of race & gender still impacts most of humanity.

    But for what it is it’s a huge success.

      I wouldn’t call generating images for prompts asking for specific people that are completely wrong a “huge success”.
