These biases have always existed in the training data used for ML models (society and all that influencing the data we collect and the inherent biases that are latent within), but it’s definitely interesting that generative models now make these biases much much more visible (figuratively and literally with image models) to the lay person
But they know the AI's have these biases, at least now, shouldn't they be able to code them out or lessen them? Or would that just create more problems?
Sorry, I'm no programer so I have no idea if thats even possible or not. Just sounds possible in my head.
That's not how it works. You don't just "program out the biases" you have to retain the model with more inclusive training data.
even then, it will always move towards the "average" of all combined training data, unless prompted otherwise.
No, that's not how it works either.
