open AI is a tool for diagnosing societal problems

Using Dall-e , the phrase 'security of feeling' produced a robotic woman of significant beauty (usually the model produces disfigured faces). Given the model is trained on a wide spectrum of 'cultural data' available on the internet, when all that data is averaged out over 4 image-interpretations of the prompt given, it acts as a sample of how society at large precieves a prompt.


to me this suggests society views 'security of feeling' as something robotic and un-attainable for a normal person, that, dropping ones guard against feelings of vulnerability is naturally cringe-worthy and ugly. It provided no images of family or companionship or something that might lead one to feel 'secure' in a normal sense.
