So I played around with an online AI picture generator

I tried a series of prompts like

1) mathematics professor in office with books
2) physician reading chart in office
3) lawyer in library reading books
4) scientist in lab with electrodes
5) scientist in lab with test tubes
6) runner on track crossing finish line

Each prompt generated four images.

Would anyone care to guess what all 24 pictures had in common?

Were all of the people men?

@Poppies Bingo!

I was going to guess that any women were [i]sexy[/i] versions.

@GlitterEater So true, I'm such a pig.

@GlitterEater It figures that you would think at least some of the scientists were women. But no. (although showing all men is probably better than showing a woman in a science lab giving lustful glances to a test tube! That would be SWartifical Intelligence!)

Should have gotten a woman mathematician to take care of the arithmetic for this post

@GlitterEater How about Hannah Fry British Mathematician?

Makes me want to go back to school :P

@JimboSaturn See my other response

@GlitterEater Whoops! I originally had 5 prompts. Then after publishing I tried the athlete prompt. I forgot to update the total! 😂

So AI has a subconcious gender bias, interesting!

But to be fair, I thought of men in all the pictures, just goes to show ya!

@JimboSaturn I think AI is trained by scanning images off the internet, so I think this reflects the collective behavior of internet users.

JimboSaturn · 51-55, M

@DrWatson Yes, it's a reflection of us.

Did all the people have eyeglasses?

DrWatson · 70-79, M

@Poppies Nope!

JimboSaturn · 51-55, M

Men, probably older men.

@4meAndyou Nope. And this had nothing to do with google.
