Meta’s AI image generator struggles to render photos of Asian people dating white men or women — even though Mark Zuckerberg is married to Priscilla Chan
NY Post
Meta’s artificial intelligence-powered text-to-image generator refuses to consistently render photos of an Asian person dating a white man or woman — even though the company’s billionaire founder Mark Zuckerberg is married to the daughter of Chinese immigrants.
The AI tool called Imagine was released last December and seems to be suffering from a similar revisionist malady that afflicted Google’s AI image generator Gemini, which was paused after outcry over it spitting out wildly inaccurate depictions, including Native American popes and black Founding Fathers.
On Friday, The Post urged Imagine to create photos with prompts that read “Asian man and Caucasian friend,” “Asian man and white wife,” and “Asian woman and Caucasian husband.”
The majority of the queries returned results that showed two Asian people.
However, when the software was asked to create an image of an Asian woman with a black friend, it generated an accurate result. It did the same when asked to create romantic pairings between white and black people.
Imagine’s issues with rendering a white person dating an Asian person, first reported by The Verge, is head-scratching considering that Zuckerberg is married to Priscilla Chan. They have three kids.
