Image Generation - Why Only Bearded Men?

HI @supergolfdude ,

1. Review training data: Check if the training data used for image generation in AEM predominantly features bearded men when depicting "caucasian men in their 50s." If so, the model might have learned to associate this demographic with facial hair.

2. Adjust search parameters: Try refining your search parameters to include more specific descriptors. Instead of just specifying "caucasian man in his 50s," add descriptors like "clean-shaven" or "without facial hair" to explicitly indicate your preference.

3. Use diverse descriptors: Experiment with different ways of describing the person you want to generate. Consider adding descriptors like "business attire," "friendly smile," or "sporty appearance" to diversify the search results.

4. Provide feedback to Adobe: If you consistently encounter bias in the image generation results, consider providing feedback to Adobe. This feedback can help improve the model's performance over time by highlighting areas where it needs to learn more diverse representations.

5. Explore alternative image generation methods: If the bias persists despite adjusting parameters and providing feedback, you may want to explore alternative image generation methods or tools that offer more diverse and representative results.

By taking these steps, you can work towards obtaining more balanced and accurate image generation results within Adobe Experience Manager.

Can you elaborate on where you are getting this? What tool are you using, and under what circumstances?

Yes - such a frustration. I keep adding the terms that are supposed to corrent this to the point that the last prompt I used in Adobe's generative AI stock was "young without beard, Caucasian man, clean-shaven, without facial hair, moving into first apartment, holding up keys. clean-shaven, clean-shaven, clean-shaven, clean-shaven,"

Every image has a beard, it doesn't matter what I say. The pose and the rest is fine, but I work for an organization serving youth. Half the time when I ask for a woman I get a man with a beard, too!
