Asul Shah.jpeg

The AI which generated these images is known to be biased. I suspect it has seen many more images of (Indian) women than men. However, when I do a google image search for Asul Shah, I see only men. On the first run all four images were female, on the second run it was 50-50. Note, two of the biases are stated as English speaking, and white (i.e. it hasn't been trained on many images from India).

The AI often has trouble with eyes and teeth. The other three images were of similar age.

I've been a bit cheeky. There were men generated in the results (50-50), but I picked this image, because she's so beautiful. One of the results (which I didn't save) looked like a close relative of Asul. Hmm.

Nominative determinism? Was I destined to be a geek? The other generated images were all alarmingly similar in style! I expected a bias towards a bald middle aged guy (because of the BBC news reporter with the same name).

Three out of the four images had beards. Two images were black and white "photos". All were of similar age. Is the AI trying to write Steve Robinson on his shirt? PS. Tuck your shirt in, you look scruffy!
