Comment on Gender Bias in Text-to-Image Generative Artificial Intelligence When Representing Cardiologists.
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 1 month agoThe depiction aligning with reality is not a bias. Artificially altering the algorithm so that it shows more women for this prompt on the other hand is, unquestionably, adding a bias.
If you want to add a bias, fine. Biases aren’t always a bad thing. But don’t pretend that what you’re actually advocating for here is correcting a bias.
Likewise you can train it out of a bias, just feed it more content showing diverse workforces
That is training in a bias. Because it’s not representative of reality.

Exactly. There are perfectly legitimate reasons to wish to bias learning to certain changes in output.
There are no legitimate reasons to do so without acknowledging that you are adding bias and being clear on the intent of doing so.

And even in cases where introducing a bias is desirable, you have to be very careful when doing it. There has been at least one case where introducing a bias towards diversity has caused problems when the algorithm is asked for images of historical people, who were often not diverse at all.
