How well it learned all the common prejudices!

"nerdy" == wears glasses

I'm applauding.

I'm looking already forward to AGI based on the current approaches… It will lead us finally into a better world, for sure. /s

How do you visually show 'nerdy' without resorting to the glasses stereotype? Your prompt is specifically requesting a prejudiced image.

Sure. And the AI serves the expected stereotype.

Isn't that great? The world will become a better place with AI everywhere.

We need especially more AI in law enforcement, and such…

AI should make important decisions. Because it bears the same prejudices as humans. So it can replace humans just great. ;-)

The AI is making no decision. The person entering the prompt made the decision to include the term. It is performing the same function as a pencil.

Now, if 'criminal' rendered as a black male 90% of the time rather than a crouched white male wearing a cheesy burglar mask and a sack over his shoulder, then I could see your point about perpetuating prejudice rather than stereotypes.
