A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If they're inserting random race words in, presumably there's some kind of preprocessing of the prompt going on. That preprocessor is what would need to know if the character is specific enough to not apply the race words.

Yeah but replace("guy", "ethnically ambiguous guy") is different than does this sentence reference any possible specific character

I don't think it's literally a search and replace but a part of the prompt that is hidden from the user and inserted either before or after the user's prompt. Something like [all humans, unless stated otherwise, should be ethnically ambiguous]. Then when generating it's got confused and taken it as he should be named ethnically ambiguous.

It’s not hidden from the user. You can see the prompt used to generate the image, to the right of the image.

Gee, I wonder if there’s any way to use GPT-4 to detect whether a prompt includes reference to any specific characters. 🤔
