Didn’t miss the point. It was trained on images of people. The majority of images it had access to were white faces because that’s what was available to scrape. Too many white people are represented in media. Isn’t that the underlying point? AI is merely reflecting that, as it was designed to do. That reflection is embarrassing. Like a toddler with a potty mouth. Not the kids fault.
Yes. And everybody knows that. Your comment doesn’t really add anything.
The point is that biased datasets are a problem that should be fixed - AI models need to comprehend human diversity, and the limitations from the biased datasets we do have need to be properly communicated to users.
No we’re on the same page. But since you came off hostile from the start, I’m going to assume that’s the kind of interaction you’re looking for. Look elsewhere.

I’m allowed to do whatever I want and you’re allowed to be willfully obtuse. Doing great so far. Keep telling the world how it should work rather than try to understand it and offer solutions. It’s gonna work out for you I’m sure of it.

Too many white people, meanwhile 2/3rds of America is white. That’s the actual problem, it’s based on American datasets, and finding a balanced dataset is impossible.
