Reply to comment by Hagisman in How it feels to be sexually objectified by an AI by cos

I think the goal of this model is to create an avatar. Basically, a drawing that makes you look better. If you add "average" or non "conventionally attractive" people, the AI will create an avatar based on you + some average or ugly looking person. Does anyone really want an avatar that make them look uglier? Or just as average? Would you rather have an avatar of you as a cosmonaut or as an accountant?

EDIt: just thought about that:

Also, if you look at instagram or facebook, many if not most of the most popular profiles/photos are very sexualized. Monkey see, monkey do.... AI see, AI do!

This is where a biased data set doesn’t help. In seminars on AI biases you usually want a diverse data set in order to draw a plausible conclusion.

If you are poisoning the data set by overusing one type of data such as Instagram models you’ll want to offset it. Unless of course your App has a Turn my picture into an Instagram model picture feature. In which case you filter out your dataset for just that specific tag.
