> they mostly default to black people

You're referring to a case of one version of one model. That's not "mostly" or "default to".

Out of curiosity I just tried this prompt:

> Generate a photo of the founding fathers of a future, non-existing country. Five people in total.

with Nano Banana Pro (the SOTA). I tried the same prompt 5 times and every time black people are the majority. So yeah, I think the parent comment is not that far off.

Luck? 1 black person, 3 south Asian in total for me.

But for an out of context imaginary future... why would you choose non-black people? There's about the same reason to go with any random look.

So, the answer to the question "Do western AI models mostly default to white people?" is clearly a resounding: no, they don't.

		No. But neither black people. Or anyone specifically. So we got to a nice balance it seems.

I mean it's still far off, because they said "historical context", i.e., the actual past, but your prompt is about a hypothetical future.

(I suspect you tried a prompt about the original founding fathers, and found it didn't make that mistake any more.)

Ideological battle is against the intended purpose of this site, and crossing into personal attack as part of it is particularly bad. We ban accounts that do this, so please don't do this here.

Edit: you've been breaking the site guidelines egregiously lately. I'm not going to ban you right now because (unlike the other account, which I did just ban) it doesn't look like you have a long history of doing this, and also because we haven't warned you before. But please don't use the site primarily for ideological battle, and please follow the rules regardless of how wrong other people are or you feel they are. Comments like these are particularly against the rules:
