Presumably some human has mastered the art of “accurately representing black or mixed hair without it turning into a caricature”. One idea: start with the best coloring books. Good training data is expensive, so how can we practically boost representation without getting the Gemini fiasco? Once a failure mode is known - like here - how do you fix it? The foundational problem is minorities are a minority of the training set. It’s hard to even identify systematic failures. These models handle a huge variety of inputs by definition much more than you could hand code. I think the dev cycle for production AI Systems will involve a lot of bug squashing on this kind of thing. , but they also have a different pose, different hairstyle and wear completely different clothes. Īfter some further browsing, the "caricature" mode seems to be the strangest - caricatures are supposed to take the characteristic traits of a person and exaggerate them in a humorous way, while these images sometimes lack even the slightest resemblance to the original. There are several modes ( ) - some of them are better at keeping people looking like they originally look, the "coloring page" mode seems to be the most "heavy-handed". whatever) and the model then associates that with stereotypical blondes? But I assume this is because of the images in the training set - I guess in coloring books most people have light-colored hair (which can then be colored brown, black, red. Also, it likes to insert a horizon, even if the original image doesn't have one, and sometimes it completely changes what's in the background. Every person getting turned into a stereotypical "caucasian" type is the most noticeable (and most problematic), but also the spotted cat in one of the pictures gets a "stereotypical" tabby coat. Looks like it takes considerable "artistic license" to deviate from the photos. and this would wildly misrepresent and erase his actual appearance. If my son was the age to want to use this, I'd be concerned about letting him use this, because I know he is sensitive about how he is different to his friends, etc. I get there's no ill intent here, but even for far less ethnically ambiguous inputs this "whitewashes" hairstyles and general appearance, and once I saw it I couldn't unsee it. My son's hair is closer in texture to that of the man on the right, and there's no way of getting it into the shape of the coloring-in page. compare and where the hairstyles of the black people are turned into distinctly "white" hairstyles. This turns black and mixed people into white-presenting caricatures of themselves. My immediate issue, as the father of a mixed son who has just witnessed him spend hours trying to represent his own appearance accurately for an art task at school:
