Back in February, we told you how Google's AI image generator had issues. For example, when prompted to generate an image of America's Founding Fathers, it produced images that excluded white men. It also wouldn't make a 'Norman Rockwell style' image because we guess the American artist isn't woke enough.

So you'll be not shocked to learn Microsoft's AI image generator has its issues, too.

We remember.

We like teddy bears.

They're soft and cuddly and not offensive at all.

Sigh.

Of course.

So what changed?

This is so wrong.

Oh, look: censorship and political bias.

That always only goes one way.

It would be wonderful if we could get some answers here, rather than quiet changes to the alogrithm.

And this writer thinks censoring the Harris images is stupid. Generate them both.

Do give the entire piece a read, but here's a sample:

A clear bias has been uncovered in the AI image creator Image Creator from Microsoft Bing, also known as Microsoft Designer. The online tool will allow the creation of images with Kamala Harris for President content, but will not allow the same for Donald Trump.

I ran into this phenomenon today, October 1, 2024, when attempting to create an image in my series featuring a shark named Sammy, who appears as a running gag in my RedState sports reports.

The best part of all this?

Because of course they don't.

This corporate censorship is a problem. A big problem. It has implications far beyond generating funny or political AI images. Using this technology, corporations can (and have) censor your social media, or sites like Twitchy or RedState, or digital media including movies and books.

And it's all based on the political whims and preferences of the management and coders.

It has to stop.
