one thing that will be helpful in distinguishing ai art from real art: currently, ai art is racist and fatphobic

#i don't mean that the artworks themselves are those things #but ai currently cannot comprehend Black and fat people #humans generally can #but because of racism and fatphobia there are far less resources for ai to pull from for Black and fat art #so ai always spits out something that's been slimmed down and whitewashed #even if not completely #it was devastating for me to see an acquaintance of mine feel like she wasn't pretty unless she put herself through one of these things #but that made me realise this stupid fucking computer can't comprehend a fat person #and someone put a photo of a Black woman through the AI and it spat out a lighter skinned anime man #ergo: the algorithms are trained on racist and fatphobic biases and therefore are racist and fatphobic #i worry eventually the ai will generate decent looking hands.#but i suspect it will be a lot longer. if ever. for ai to generate images depicting Black and fat people.#thanks to the biases of a racist fatphobic society that have carried over to the AI.#- nyx (they/she)
