Are men not attractive? Or perhaps for Google, this blog is a targeted content? But who is it targeting? I would like to see the reasoning behind using all women images (at the least the top/first ones) to show off the model capabilities. I have noticed this trend in the image manipulation business a lot.

The average man finds the average woman more attractive than the average woman finds the average man. Replace attractive with (eye-catching/attention-grabbing/motivating/retention-boosting).

		Oh, in that case, it makes sense. Also, I think men/women consume different kind of media and this is one of those "men dominated" corner of the internet. I also think due to trainig data bias - there could be some difference in quality with different subjects. So, they might be showing off their best of best.

Did they update the blog post? For me, of the 4 examples in the post, 2 are men and 2 are women.

Because tech is largely male dominated and has inherent sexism/patriarchy and images of women, especially conventionally attractive ones, has the perception of aiding sales.

Also women are seen as more cooperative and submissive, hence so many home assistants and AI being women's voices/femme coded.

		Thank you for saying that. When I posted that GP comment - it got immediately downvoted and I couldn't even see my comment on the thread. I kind of expected to get it tagged 'meta/off-topic' and removed. The way I see it - corporations would like to exploit prejudices for revenue. Of course, this is not something new. But it is a societal issue and the corporate world is playing a large role in it. For context this was the original link - https://deepmind.google/models/gemini/image/
