Have you heard of MidJourney, DALL-E-2, or Stable Diffusion? These are amazing image generation AIs that can take your words and create some truly captivating, creative, dare-I-say "human-like?" images with just a few words of text. However, do you know that because these AIs have taught themselves through browsing millions of photos that they have also learned our human biases?
In this interactive presentation we will explore these biases. I, along with the audience, will put MidJourney to the test. Bring along your own suggestions for MidJourney for us to discuss!
