    Yes, but they trained on easily accessible data in large amounts. Which actually says that stock photo websites are the biased ones there.

    No model can be trained on an equal amount of diverse data for everyone, and it’s not supposed to anyway. I bet it was hardly if at all trained on Mongolian goat herders, but you could hardly say it’s biased against them, just that there wasn’t an easily accessible large amount of pictures of them.

      That’s my point. The AI isn’t an independent subject to be criticized, it is a cultural mirror.
