And yet, Gemini has no issues generating images for a "generic Asian" person or for a "generic Black" person. Even though the variation in those groups is even greater than in the group of "generic White".

Moreover, Gemini has no issues generating stereotypical images of those other groups (barely split into perhaps 2 to 3 stereotypes). And not just that, but US stereotypes for those groups.

Yeah it’s obviously screwed up which I guess is why they’re working on it. I wonder how it got passed QA? Surely the “red teaming” exercise would have exposed these issues. Heh maybe the red team testers were so biased they overlooked the issues. The ironing is delicious.

If we take Michael Bolton's definition, "Quality is value to some person who matters" then it's very obvious exactly how it id.

It fit an executive's vision and got greenlighted.
