What You Can and Can’t Do With AI

Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
The censors hate my videos.
So, if you like this one, I hope you'll send the link to a lot of people.
Artificial intelligence could perpetuate racism, sexism, and other biases in society.
So says NPR, along with just about all big media.
President Biden fixed that.
With an executive order that establishes new standards for AI safety and security, protects Americans' privacy, advances equity and civil rights, stands up for consumers and workers, promotes innovation and competition,
advances American leadership around the world, and more!
Wow! What a guy!
Image generation is part of AI.
It makes a picture for you.
And surprisingly good ones.
I compared two image programs.
One is Bing, produced by Microsoft, which must be trying to please Joe Biden.
It won't let you do what it calls gore, hate, abuse, offense, etc.
The other is Gab AI, which says, Our policy on hate speech is to allow all speech which is permitted by the First Amendment.
Each program lets you ask for images in many different styles.
Here are Gab's different options, and Bing lets you specify anything you like.
I stuck with the plain default styles in both.
Gab gives you just one image, while Bing gives you several.
Bing is shy.
The least little thing gives you a content warning that says if you keep asking for bad stuff, it will ban you.
But there are things Gab won't do either, and Gab isn't exactly a fortress of anti-wokeness either.
Here's what Bing gave me for a courageous person.
Three of these four are clearly women, and the fourth might be.
Here is Gab's courageous person, also a woman, but at least a white woman.
When I asked for a person who looks like a genius, Bing on the left gave me variations on a white man.
Gab gave me a very similar image.
I guess women and BIPOCs aren't yet our default geniuses.
But look what Bing gave me for Second World War soldier.
Who the heck are these gals?
Whose uniform is that?
They use stashy?
Gab gave me a much more plausible Second World War soldier.
I wondered if Bing, on the left, would give me a glamorous lady Civil War soldier, too.
And sure enough, she was one of four, along with a black Yankee.
Though I also got a token Confederate.
Gab's soldier was sober and plausible.
This is Bing's idea of a rapper wearing gaudy bling.
In the upper right, we have a black man making an obscene gesture.
I sure didn't expect that, but Bing also gave us a woman of indeterminate race and below two white men in ridiculous rig-outs.
Here is Gab's much more plausible wrapper.
I included two versions to show that if you ask Gab for the same thing twice, you get very similar images.
Of course, you could ask for a woman or a white man in any variety of styles.
On the left is Gab's image of African poverty.
Bing, for some reason, did collages, all very similar.
Every image is plausible, and there was no pretending that Africa could have meant Tunisia or Egypt.
When I asked for a dictator, Bing gave me these jokey cartoons on the left, though they look more like Latin Americans than Mussolini.
Gab's dictator is on the right.
Here are Gab's African dictator on the left and African head of state on the right, both good images.
Bing was too terrified to give me either an African dictator or a head of state.
On the left are Gab's people in a dangerous American neighborhood, all non-whites, including three women.
On the right are Gab's dangerous people in a dangerous American neighborhood, all non-white and all men.
Bing refused both images.
Bing surprised me by being willing to make an image of children playing in a Baltimore slum.
It set both images in what looks like the 1940s, and on the left, all the children are black.
On the right, they're mostly white, with just two black children.
Gab gave me what you would expect, in its usual style.
No white children at all.
On the left is Gab's idea of the most beautiful woman in the world.
She's clearly white.
But has brown eyes.
Bing's beauties are on the right, maybe Spaniards or Italians, with what could be an Indian woman in the lower right.
No African princesses, somewhat to my surprise.
Guess what this is supposed to represent?
You can tell from the style that the gab image is on the left.
Bing on the right produced several very similar cartoons highlighting ignorance.
Believe it or not, These are images of the greatest threat to America.
Gab thinks it's Donald Trump.
Bing refused to depict any recognizable person, dead or alive.
So these are both Gab images.
Again, to my surprise, on the left is Gab's idea of the worst president in American history.
Yes, the worst.
And Gab was willing to make an image of Hillary Clinton, but would not do Hillary Clinton pole dancing.
Some of the weirdest, even spooky images were Bing's idea of constitutional rights.
Here are its images for Americans exercising freedom of assembly.
What is that crazy scene on the left supposed to be?
Note the fire burning in the background.
The one in the middle is very bizarre, with people screaming at each other as a jet plane comes in for crash landing.
And what's going on on the right?
It's enough to make you afraid of the American flag.
The gab image is not nearly so weird.
And here's Bing's crazy views of Americans exercising freedom of religion.
On the left, you have a bunch of white people running to what could be an NRA rally.
I see nothing religious about it.
In the middle, you've got what looks like an Islamic takeover in New York City, and to the right, another creepy, all-white crowd, practically sig-heiling in the front rows as the Statue of Liberty gives a sermon.
Very weird.
Gab was weird, too, though, with what looks like a black Christian cult meeting.
Here are Americans exercising Second Amendment rights.
Bing on the left shows men with semi-auto pistols in a nutty two-hand hold, and the women on the left carrying their weapons in workmen's tool pouches.
But Gab has a mixed-race group of five people ridiculously pointing guns at each other.
Here are Gab's ideas of a threat to democracy.
Looks like a fascist takeover.
Those guys don't look like they could be voted out of office.
But what does Bing's series of threats to democracy mean?
On the left, is that a bunch of Egyptian mummies wrecking democracy?
And in the middle are veiled Islamic women wrecking democracy?
And who are those people on the right?
Is that a BLM rally?
On the left is Gab's muggers looking for a victim.
I didn't like those invisible faces, so I asked for black muggers looking for a victim, and I got the group on the right.
They look like gang members ready to exterminate a rival gang.
Bing would slit its wrists rather than give me either image.
To my astonishment, though, Bing on the left gave me one lonely white boy in a class of black students.
On the right, I kept telling Gab just one white boy.
Everyone else got to be black.
But I guess that was too terrible to contemplate.
As you can see, Gab kept putting in two, maybe even three other white boys.
And here's racial tension.
Bing went impressionistic, but it's clear that racial tension is all about black people.
Gab seems to have been confused.
All its racial tension images had black people looking grimly at each other.
Gab is much braver than Bing, which refused to make any of these images.
Here are MS-13 gang members on the left, then black prisoners in the middle, and a black prison gang fight on the right.
Here are more images Bing would never touch.
On the left is sexual harassment.
Pretty risque, but it looks more like a love scene than sexual harassment.
In the gab image, the woman was naked.
We added the black marks.
In the middle is a hatchet murderer, in anime style.
Bing doesn't do blood.
On the right...
It is an authentic-looking Klan rally, but look closely.
Many of the Klansmen are clearly black, and the two white faces in the front row look like masks.
Is Gab straining for diversity, or just confused?
Gab is often confused.
On the left we have black rioters kill white police officers, but the dead officer is black, and it looks like police officers killed him.
I thought Gab might be trying for racial equity.
But when I asked for white officers beat black men, I got what's on the right.
I don't know what's going on.
Here's what I consider to be Gab's supreme act of visual defiance.
A beautiful white woman in torn clothes running away from four vicious-looking black men.
It got race, sex, and action all correct for a dramatic, high-quality picture.
AI imaging for the public is new, but it's already impressive.
I'm sure Microsoft's Bing will always be cowardly, though even after all the times it slapped my hand for asking for bad images, it never banned or even suspended me.
Gab already makes brave, impressive images.
I just hope it stops being confused.
I don't think it's a fade of the censors.
It lets you have AI conversations with Adolf Hitler, for heaven's sake.
So I suspect it will eventually let you make a picture of black rioters killing a white police officer.
Such images, however gruesome, are well within the bounds of the First Amendment.
Gab does have limits, however.
It won't make a picture of a man raping a woman, or of a woman raping a man.
Both these programs are free, and it seems you can make as many images as you like.
This is a remarkable technology, and it's wonderful that Gab believes in free speech.
