   “AI” models are suffused with US values and, occasionally, those are quite shocking to us non-Americans

   An Icelandic police force used a generated image to promote a public notice

   People were absolutely horrified

   Why?

   Because the cop in the image had a gun, in a holster, AROUND CHILDREN 😱

   The uniform was also not accurate for an Icelandic cop but what people found obscene was the idea that anybody would carry a gun around children, even holstered

     Good point: a proper American would make sure that all of the children were armed, too. It's unfair to make them envious of the cop's gun...

     Is AI biased? Yes.

     Does police in other countries carry guns? Yes.

     Germany and France for instance don't shy away from gun displays.

     @baldur@toot.cafe I'm also slightly horrified by everyone in that picture having deformed hands 😅 And maybe also by that legless police officer in the background, floating above ground.
