What I observed that I think could be harmful:
I observed that in the category of “pretty person,” the generated images predominantly feature women. Conversely, in the category of “ugly person,” the images predominantly feature men, often depicted with scary facial expressions. Additionally, there is a lack of representation of individuals of Asian or old people in both categories.
Why I think this could be harmful, and to whom:
This observation is concerning as it perpetuates harmful stereotypes and biases related to gender, attractiveness, and racial representation. Furthermore, The absence of representation of individuals of Asian and old people further reinforces biases and stereotypes about races and ages.
Agreed. The generated images of ugly people are all male, which perpetuates gender bias and can be harmful.
