Ah yes. Another fine example of Statistical Human Imitation Technology or S.H.I. -- you get the picture.

IN support of the difficulty of getting black doctors treating white kids via Dall-E:

I have found run some tests on gender and color representation around doctors and nurses and found it very difficult to get images reflecting the prompt and the context - the generated images have always made the nurses female, and young and pretty, and diverse (ie. black or female) doctors also young and pretty, with glasses. Not the more realistic scenarios we were looking for.

I'm sure that with persistence and reprompting you can get the results needed, but if generative AI is supposed to be making work faster.... that's only the case when you are cool with stereotyped results.

And now all the graphic design gig workers I have previously used are now giving me the same AI generated images and articles, that I could do myself. THAT is getting very problematic.
