One of the supposed benefits of AI image generators is that they can create anything. We can let our imagination run wild creating images of the most surreal scenes we could think of. Only they can't. Generative AI is limited by its training data, and image generators are still sometimes unable to create surprisingly simple requests.
Mia Sato, a writer at The Verge, has reported that she tried to get Meta's AI image generator to create an image of an Asian man with a white woman. And she came up against a consistent case of 'AI says no'. Despite using text prompts, including phrases such as 'white woman' and 'Caucasian woman', the text-to-image tool would only produce images of an Asian couple.
