Look, I hate racism and inherent bias toward white people but this is just ignorance of the tech. Willfully or otherwise it’s still misleading clickbait. Upload a picture of an anonymous white chick and ask the same thing. It’s going go to make a similar image of another white chick. To get it to reliably recreate your facial features it needs to be trained on your face. It works for celebrities for this reason not a random “Asian MIT student” This kind of shit sets us back and makes us look reactionary.
You said yourself you hate inherent bias yet attempt to justify the result by saying if used again it’s just going to produce another white face.
that’s the problem
It’s a racial bias baked into these AIs based on their training models.
They aren't justifying anything, they literally said it was about the training data.
