# “Imagine” That! Meta’s AI Tool Struggles With Inclusive Imagery
If there’s a class of robots we all root for, it’s the ones that can imagine stuff for us. Meet one such promising champ from Meta’s corner, named ‘Imagine’. However, as The Verge discovered, when asked to doodle an image of an ‘Asian man and Caucasian friend,’ Imagine was left scratching its virtual head.
Key Takeaways from the Incident:
– Have you ever wished to see how AI would imagine humans together? Well, Meta’s AI tool ‘Imagine,’ fails in quite an epic way. It has difficulty creating an image of an ‘Asian man and Caucasian friend,’ which shouldn’t require a PhD in Imaginary Arts!
– Now, the issue here isn’t that Imagine is racist. This lapse can be attributed to the limitations of AI in understanding the nuances of human diversity and representation.
– This was discovered by The Verge and has since been a topic of wide conversation about the bias that exists in AI and the need for inclusivity.
# Final Thoughts
We’re in the era of AI where we’ve given it the power to imagine, but have we thoroughly checked the power of its imagination? It plays out almost as a sitcom episode: Cue: “I’m sorry, Dave, I can’t imagine that!”
However, under the comedy of errors, what’s glaringly obvious is the dire need for AI to be inclusive and representational. If AI has become our ‘imagine-nation,’ then diversity is a mandatory immigration stamp it needs. Let’s hope Meta’s Imagine learns to color within all the lines and not just some. The question isn’t anymore about what AI can imagine, but instead about what it should imagine. Now, wouldn’t that be a ‘picture-perfect’ world?

Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: The image in the style of Realism would depict an open laptop sitting on a wooden desk. On the laptop screen, there would be a vividly intricate 3D model of a Meta AI robot. It would be analyzing various images of diverse human figures, displayed in smaller windows on the screen. The Meta logo – a circular infinity symbol – would be subtly incorporated into the design of the AI robot. On the desk around the laptop, one could see diagrams and papers filled with codes and data analysis to signify the struggles of AI with inclusive imagery. All these elements would be painted realistically but melodramatically to highlight the significance and sensitivity of the subject matter.
