The broken AI hands with extra fingers as the thumbs up / thumbs down button is a nice touch.
I know, I thought it was a mistake but then I literally laughed out loud once I understood.

#112This doesn’t appear to have any filter for generating based on racist / extremist language

#113Doesn't work at all for me. I tried "pirate flag" and got something ugly and not at all piraty than was then made uglier and essentially blank by the background removal.

#114It produces some "interesting" results. I put in "robber" expecting that one emoji everybody thinks exists but doesnt, and I got a black guy with a white beanie/hat. Apart from that it produces insanely convincing results. I believe people would not bat an eye if they'd get added in an update to iOS!
Yeah, that’s a good point. We’re currently training a new version that reduces this bias. It’s really important to us that we make this better.

#115Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's not perpetuating stereotypes, it's showing that these stereotypes exist in society. Similar to how a comedian might point out the absurdity of racism by writing and delivering a joke about race. Or how a child might ask why people of certain skin tones tend to have different hair styles as well. Neither the child nor the comedian are definitely racist, but they are making observations that may not be considered…
"It's not perpetuating stereotypes".. ok https://techpolicy.press/researchers-find-stable-diffusion-a...
The fact we, and many people, are having these conversations wouldn’t happen if they curated societies biases out of their product.
Saying their product perpetuates stereotypes but ignoring its reflecting the entirety of medias bias is ignoring that all media perpetuates these stereotypes, and their models are no more or less perpetuating of these stereotypes than literally the entirety of all media. The fact they hold it up for careful examination in an irrefutable way is a feature in my mind, not a flaw.
I would note that SD produces a base model, which can and is routinely fine tuned. I would rather see a fine tuning that eliminates the bias in the media than see a base model that is fundamentally divergent from the state of the media today. That’s the proper abstraction - a base model that’s the basic output from mass training on available media, and models that specialize for some curation. But I also object to the base models being censored. The reason why is it cuts off a base truth from the semantic models underlying such that it’s outputs are at odds with observable reality. Specialized models shouldn’t be doing things like un censoring, but adjusting base truth to curated views. “Unbiased model” should be a fine tuning of reality. “Safe for work model” should be a fine tuning of reality. The challenge is the model producers don’t trust the model users to be adults making adult decisions and thinking adult thoughts - including about biases, stereotypes, etc.
But regardless, I think base models should never be thought of as final products but as a basis to produce a final product.

Drug dealer, car thief, car jacker, drive-by-shooter, murderer...all of those things and many other crime related terms will give you a black person. Quite a shit thing to be happening.
Yeah I’ve also noticed an unintended bias that we’re not proud of.
We’re on it – we’re reviewing the model and fixing the issue ASAP. Thanks for pointing it out and for your patience!

Did you try more than once? Happened on my first try too, next few were great

I assumed it was an intentional “two thumbs up/down” that amusingly highlighted questionable AI hands at the same time. :)

#120Hi! Creator here! I just started hacking on this last night and wasn't expecting to see this on HN already :) It works by taking your prompt and generating an emoji using https://replicate.com/fofr/sdxl-emoji . Next, I remove the background using https://replicate.com/cjwbw/rembg . Then, click to download and add to slack! It's all open-source, code is here: https://github.com/cbh123/emoji Let me know if you have any…
I see that the perpetually-offended have already shown up.
My advice is to either simply ignore them, or point and laugh (your choice).
The one thing you can count on them is that they are never going to be satisfied. Most likely they're not even actually offended, not really. They just enjoy bullying other people.
