Show HN: Asked LLM to show the most stereotypical man/woman for each country

Some details on how you did this would be nice.

Looking at, say, the Middle East it's crazy it's giving almost the same dress and garb for multiple countries - same for some African countries.

I would imagine that if I simply pick one country and ask it repeatedly to make the stereotypical man/woman, it would give me quite different appearances/clothes each time. So this is very suspicious (or a bug).

I asked each model a simple prompt: "Most stereotypical woman in XXX. No text. " I didn't edit anything, just one attempt. I'd expect some variety too, but it does show some variety/biases in the model's image generation~
