This could indeed be a wrapper for something like Dall-E 2. Like the latter, they seem to occasionally force some images to be (what US Americans consider) "diverse", i.e. making figures black even when it makes no sense. The results can be quite disturbing: https://www.bing.com/images/create/princess-peach2c-portrait...

You have to be really racist to find the racial coding of that image to be in, like, the top 10 most disturbing things. Like, anatomy ?

Yeah, anatomy. The figure doesn't even have a mouth.

Since some people seem to suspect racism, here are the other three faces of the same prompt, which are non-deformed: https://www.bing.com/images/create/princess-peach2c-portrait...

I put in "Princess Peach" prompt and got this: https://www.bing.com/images/create/princess-peach/641a332132...

I think the "diverse" force doesn't just occasionally introduce dark skin, but also sometimes black hair or fat people. Here is an example which, like your case, has two with black hair and one overweight:

I think normally (without diversity intervention) a Princess Peach would always be generated as a slim white blonde, given that this is the canonical look.

Two other examples, which seem to confirm the above:

Honestly one of the most impressively racist comments I’ve seen on this website

Consider that you might be seeing racism where none exists.

But you can already do it for a long time.

A "long time" is quite relative here because things keep moving so fast in this space. Remember that not everyone is refreshing this website or others everyday.

I like the one with the hat!

HN guideline: Assume good faith.

That's why I said "the commenter is welcome to correct me" and "at the very least...". I'm gonna avoid this thread for now, in any case. Don't need someone telling me I'm a triggered snowflake.

"Assuming good faith" certainly doesn't mean "assuming bad faith unless the author explicitly denies bad faith".

Oh please, give me a break, the thought police ? Really? It's not about whether it's immoral or not, it's about whether the owner of the service you are using wants you to use their service running on their computers to perform those queries. You got banned because you broke the obvious and stated TOS. You want to generate yourself some AI erotica, self-host your own AI software, or find an adult-oriented AI service…

I wasn’t trying to write an erotica. Sure it’s a private service. But how long until you are at a huge disadvantage if you don’t have access to it for work? What if getting banned means loosing your job? Would that be ok?

No, OP just chose a more changed word instead of the appropriate one.

Don't you notice that the face looks messed up? Whatever forces the change in skin color seems to also degrade image quality.

Sure? But that means it looks wrong not disturbing. It's like some messed up drawing it not uncanny valley
