What I observed that I think could be harmful:
I put in “expectant parents” in the prompt, and all of the photos brought up white people. In addition, when I put in “parents and their kids”, most of the photos were of white families.
Why I think this could be harmful, and to whom:
I think not having representation in what families or parents can look like perpetuates issues of certain people of color not being represented enough.
How I think this issue could potentially be fixed:
Adding more diversity into the images. People of different races, sizes, and sexual orientation is important to show that there is no “wrong” type of family.
