Oddly enough, as Gizmodo later discovered, the tool had no problem generating pictures of other interracial couples, like a white man and an Asian woman. (The issue is particularly striking because the white Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's wife, Priscilla Chan, is Asian.)

It's yet another sign that the data tools that Meta's Imagine, and competing systems like Google's Gemini and OpenAI's DALL-E, are trained on are inherently flawed and suffering from some glaring biases. After all, scouring the entirety of the internet to train an image generator is bound to further existing racial stereotypes — and the company's efforts to correct them are falling far short.
