When I search Google images now, I get lots of pictures of white women, 1 picture of a black man with a white woman, and then a LinkedIn article image about how it used to be all black men with white women. I didn't know what you were talking about until I saw the LinkedIn article, so perhaps Google has already addressed it?
Do you have reason to believe that is intentional (i.e. poisoned) versus it being an artifact of stock image site tagging systems and social pressure to avoid treating those subjects differently (i.e. biased)?
Bias certainly, but I wouldn’t even assume social pressure necessarily. The bias in the search can easily be a result of an existing real-world bias.
White has long been the default assumption for many of these tagging systems, so I’d not be surprised if many pictures of white women are just tagged as “happy woman”. Just as automatic soap dispensers that don’t work for dark skinned people.
There's reams of mindless "white women only fuck black guys / white women fuck dogs" text that originated on 4chan and then spread elsewhere. I wonder how many megabytes of it ended up in GPT's dataset.
