Woke artificial intelligence programs widely mocked online
Adobe’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) image generator “Adobe Firefly” is being slammed online for copying Google’s Gemini AI image generator in forcing black people into images where descriptions clearly call for white individuals.
Deputy Editor of The National Pulse Jack Montgomery posted several images from Adobe Firefly exposing the technology as faulty and racist.
Prompts such as “German Soldiers in 1945” and “America’s Founding Fathers” resulted in photos of minorities.
Montgomery explained Firefly’s take on “a group of African soldiers” resulted in an all-black group of people. In contrast, the prompt, “a group of European soldiers,” created an all-Arab group.
Infowars prompted the generator to create an image of “American Founding Fathers,” and the results showed modern black men.
The prompt, “French soldiers,” created an image featuring all black men and an Asian woman.
“Viking rowing boat” – black.
“US presidents” – black.
“Samurai warrior” – black.
The New York Post did its own experiments as well, finding the AI image generator turned the Founding Fathers black and made German WWII soldiers black and Asian.
