This is just dumb rage-bait. At worst this shows a bias in training data, probably because the AI was developed in a majority white country that used images of majority white people to train it.
And likely its not even that. The AI has no concept of race, so doesnt know to make white people white and asian people asian, so would also be likely to do the reverse.
This is a real issue for non-white people. Sure in this instance it’s trivial and doesn’t have any major impact - yet.
It again highlights the necessity to diversify your training data but time and time again we have this white bias issue.
If you don’t think that paints a picture of a bleaker future when AI tools are more advanced and widespread yet STILL operating on biases, you’re being naive.
LoRAs already exist to fix this issue
