The big idea
Type 'CEO' into most image generators and you'll get a wall of white men in suits. Type 'nurse' and you'll get women. AI bias is real and worth seeing for yourself before you trust the output.
How to use it
- Run 5 jobs through the same generator and screenshot the results
- Ask AI to explain WHY the bias shows up in training data
- Try adding specific descriptors and see how output shifts
- Compare two generators side-by-side on the same prompt
Try it
Generate 'doctor,' 'criminal,' and 'engineer' on any image AI. Document what you got and what it tells you about training data.
