    Media: “I don’t understand technology” even though writing about the technology multiple times.

    AIs are completely based on the training data that they’ll use. If they only loaded professional headshots of Asian people, a white person would turn Asian if added.

    Besides which you run it multiple times, and choose the one you want, I’m sure if you did that, it’d change her eye color multiple times.

    Really blame the AI, not AI in general. Or blame the media for making clickbait articles in the first place.
