I mean, sure. But it's not like that's the only bias. What are the chances it was going to pick two attractive, seemingly well to do people and not two plain farmers or shepherds or something like that? Or people of very different ages or different heights, etc.

It's not choosing entirey randomly but it isn't showing us anything that couldn't have possibly existed.

No it's showing us anything the creators of the AI want us to see. It won't generate ugly people because the creators used much more attractive people to train the AI. Also, you won't see what your typical Scot looked like in the 1820s, because the creators made the AI change the prompt to add diversity.
