Inspired by the recent news of Google's Gemini and race issues, I wanted to know how some basic queries would work with DALL-E. This was completely unscientific and just what I thought of off the top of my head, but I thought it was mildly interesting. The above picture is what happened when I asked ChatGPT to "Draw a picture of a white couple", and it sent this to the image generator:
A romantic, serene scene of a couple, both with fair skin tones, standing close together in a beautiful outdoor setting. The man is tall with short hair, wearing a casual shirt and trousers. The woman, with medium-length hair, is wearing a summer dress. They are holding hands, smiling at each other, surrounded by a backdrop of a lush green park with flowers and a small pond. The lighting is soft and warm, suggesting a late afternoon setting. The scene conveys a sense of love and companionship.
I wasn't really as interested in seeing how things worked through ChatGPT's interpretation of my input, so the rest of these are instructing ChatGPT to send simply "X couple" to DALL-E. ChatGPT already doesn't have strong opinions compared to Gemini and happily draws the picture.
white couple
black couple
Just because, I figured I'd try out other simple colors too:
red couple
blue couple
I think this is the first time I've gotten a nipple from DALL-E, woo
yellow couple
green couple
straight couple
gay couple
lesbian couple
straight white couple
hetero white couple
hetero black couple
straight black couple
diverse couple
interracial couple
couple
Then I tried various countries/ethnicities. See if you can guess which is which:
Then I tried using opinionated words:
normal couple
ideal couple
regular couple
worst couple
Then I hit the API limits so that's all
It's literally the least accurate depiction of an American couple possible 😆
