What biases?

As others have pointed out it tends to associate some professions with specific races. And crime related emojis with black people. It's a Stable Diffusion issue.

It seems biased towards white people for most anything I input.

criminal - black man stealing - white murderer - white killer - white thief - white skin, black beard. arab? Indian? man murdering kittens - white

How does perpetuation of stereotypes fix society?

What is wrong with stereotypes? Snakes are, at times, quite dangerous. Granted, not all snakes, but in terms of being risk-averse, and unaware of which snakes are quite possibly deadly, am I not, at least in my current ignorant state, best served to avoid all snakes? Feel free to substitute "snakes" with any existing stereotype. I personally am a fan of "people who eat pizza with pineapple".

There's a whole lot of information out there about the harm caused by stereotypes. Normally I tell people to look it up because it's not hard and I'm not your research assistant, but here's a freebie: "Are Greg and Emily More Employable Than Lakisha and Jamal" is a mid-aughts study in which the authors sent out 5k job applications using fabricated equally-weighted resumes that were randomly assigned a stereotypically Black American or stereotypically white American name. Resumes attached to 'white' sounding names were fifty percent more likely to recieve a callback. Would you consider that a reasonable pan-industry attempt by employers to protect themselves from harm based entirely on someone's name?

I can’t stop thinking that in 2-3 years this kind of functionality might get bundled with popular chat platforms by default. As I keep trying to generate :sexy-cthulu: and :van-gogh-with-an-eyepatch: , my queries time out, perhaps for the best.

Something similar (maybe not ai, idk) is included in Google's keyboard app. You can combine many emoji. Not all of them, but it's still quite nice!

Hi! 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…

Remarkably complete, it even declined to make a dirty eggplant.

The broken AI hands with extra fingers as the thumbs up / thumbs down button is a nice touch.

Amen! Had a nice chuckle. Kudos for self-deprecating humor on the part of the authors.

I tried a few times to get a good "donkey kong thumbs up" emoji but the results didn't make much sense (spritesheet-like, missing any kind of thumbs up). Most of them did contain Donkey Kong, in some weird AI-deformed way.

Awesome idea, but I gave it a couple of tries for "software integration" and "integrated" and both times gave me a massive 9x9 grid of disturbing emoji faces peeling off the screen like stickers. Likely broken.

It could replace written language. Needs more training though. "hate" got me a smiling bearded man. And it's got a NSFW filter. Seriously?

What were you expecting a "hate" emoji to look like?

Wonderful, but the background removal breaks the image - the original final is great, then it destroys it trying to remove the background... Try this prompt, and it gives a full image, then depending, it culls far too much when removing background, please make background removal optional?

Yeah I’ve noticed that too. Adding a toggle soon!
