It’s not an LLM, it’s a GAN and it’s inner workings are very different.

If that 1/6th has the most positive feedback in recognizability, for the GAN it becomes a high weighted part of the standard. These model’s categorizing flow favors unique features of images.

The algorithm is optimizing for results that are rated as precise, not just frequent.

Does it help the model to produce images that are indoubtably “american” for it’s raters or for it’s automated rating system. If yes they are statistically significant. Low frequency and systematic rarity can be both significant in a statistical analysis.

Are you sure?

Probably they don’t because it’s not context appropriate, as we all do with our dresses. More so if you and them live in a state or city with a different dress code. These things strongly depend on context.
For generative models though, they produce usually the most stereotyped answers possible, with a pinch of randomness, so we shouldn’t be surprised about this phenomenon. They are rewarded by these things.

A traditional dress is not a religious dress, it’s a dress used for a long time for it’s usefulness or fashion.
The historical use of the turban is fascinating, spanning for millennia and in a lot of hot regions of the world.
I suggest the wiki page for further info, more precise than I have on hand.
An excerpt about the Pagri:
In Rajasthan state of India these turbans, known as Pagri or Safa, is a traditional headwear that is an integral part of the state’s cultural identity.
My point was (but it might be lost in sarcasm) that being the “hat” of Indian kings, nobles and emperors for millennia, we have a lot of drawings and also photos of Indian people with turbans, that most probably these generative models have been trained on.
On a footnote: why should the concept of a traditional dress be offensive? A lot of human groups have one.

What a surprise! A traditional outfit appears statistically significant to a large statistical model and shows more frequently. What a novel finding. I’m flabbergasted!

Male urinary incontinence is a serious thing and might be caused by prostate cancer among other things. Instead of plugging your urethra with a finger you should talk to your doctor.
